ENACT survey on easy-to-understand news

The dataset contains data from the survey to European organisations distributed by the ENACT (Easy-to-understand News for Transformative Collaboration) project. ENACT aims to promote best practices and understanding of easy-to-understand news. The aim of the survey was to gather information on current practices, challenges, and opportunities in easy-to-understand news production in Europe. Participants from several European organisations that offer or might offer this service completed the survey online, via Microsoft Forms, from January to February 2025.

Their answers provide information on several aspects of easy-to-understand news: a) News offer, b) Legislation c) Language of the news, d) News selection in terms of geographical scope and topic, e) Target audiences, feedback strategies and audience reach, f) Professionals and workflows, including news creation and validation processes, specific training and the use of artificial intelligence, and g) challenges and future plans.
