WMB's Communications Strategic Plan

Discussion session on the first WMB's Communications Plan

The ratification and publication of WMB's Communications Strategic Plan is the result of a process launched in August last year to align our communication processes with our 2023-2025 Strategic Plan. The communications plan was produced by the professional team with a volunteer-based committee and discussed with WMB community members for several weeks before being approved on February 26, 2024, during a General Assembly.[1]

The Communications Strategic Plan was listed on WMB's 2024 annual plan of activities, as one of the two strategic implementation plans we expected to deliver. The overall intent of establishing a new direction for our external communication is to ensure our framing and methods are ensuring the strengthening of the Wikimedia ecosystem, including the conversion of internet users into editors, in line with our strategic direction of "Fostering and diversifying partnerships for free knowledge in Brazil".

Second quarter report (Apr-Jun)

Promoting the values and strengths of our collaborative ecosystem

WMB participating in the panel on Information Integrity

Wiki Movimento Brasil has acted in international meetings and campaigns to promote the Wikimedia way. These actions have included an Open Letter to influence the Global Digital Compact and the NETmundial+10 declaration.[2]

These actions were focused on implementing part of the WMB's Communications Strategic Plan and directed towards positioning WMB in international debates on Internet Governance and digital environment regulation.[1] Thus, they align with WMB's Strategy to foster and diversify partnerships for open knowledge in Brazil, emphasizing the development of campaigns using Wikimedia projects to combat misinformation and establishing a political advocacy role for the protection and dissemination of free knowledge.

We implemented a communicative strategy to raise the profile of our involvement in internet governance, strengthening relationships with the press, organizations, the community, and the general public through various products and actions.[3] Qualitatively, we made progress in identifying journalists active in this field, achieved narrative alignment to communicate two distinct situations, and enhanced the community's sense of belonging. Quantitatively, the results included one video with three interviews,[2] an article on Diff summarizing the actions,[4] an article in Le Monde Diplomatique,[5] and two news pieces on the institutional website and six social media posts reaching 1,200 accounts.[2]

Website refactoring: creating a central resource platform

The Wiki Movimento Brasil website was relaunched in 2023, focusing on engaging diverse audiences. A key aspect of this effort was the integration of a centralized resource platform to facilitate broader access to the knowledge generated by our affiliate, which occurred this trimester.

The primary goal was to harmonize communication across both on-wiki and off-wiki platforms, utilizing a more familiar visual language for non-Wikimedians. By understanding how audiences access content, we were able to develop more effective engagement strategies in alignment with our Communications Plan. A key outcome includes the implementation of the open-source software Tainacan as a resource-sharing system, which is continually refined to enhance user experience and navigation.[6] To date, we have listed over 170 resources produced by our user group, complete with their metadata.[6]

Resource on how Wikimedia fights disinformation

collection of texts on information, democracy and media education

To promote information integrity, Wiki Movimento Brasil has led campaigns and produced educational resources since 2022. Aligned with the strategic axis "Fostering and diversifying partnerships for free knowledge in Brazil," WMB explored this year new ways of communicating and presenting the Wikimedia projects as an essential instrument against disinformation. This resulted in the production of a multistakeholder e-book about information integrity.[7]

This e-book represents a significant milestone in WMB's effort on combating disinformation, bringing together nine authors to create a publication of over 40 pages. Authors are generally members of partner NGOs that fight disinformation in Brazil. Divided into five sections, the e-book covers the consequences of disinformation, presents the challenges and principles for combating it, and offers replicable tools and actions. Qualitatively, the project successfully demonstrated the multiple ways of combating disinformation in Wikimedia projects, expanding partnerships and generating a collaborative network of sharing, articulation, and recognition.[8]
