Correction: Grecu et al. (2025). Online Media Bias and Political Participation in EU Member States; Cross-National Perspectives. Journalism and Media, 6(3), 155

The authors added two paragraphs that had been inadvertently omitted from the original publication (Grecu et al., 2025), elaborating on the concept of online mobilization for democracy and the concept of social media bias.

A correction has been made to Section 2, Materials and Methods, Subsection 2.2, Data Collection and Statistical Design.

Paragraphs added:

Online mobilization for democracy derives from the concept of mobilization for democracy, which is a consequence of the increased role played by online networks in influencing citizens’ engagement and participation in various forms of civic accountability, such as strikes, protests, and online petitions.

The concept of online media bias stems from the phenomenon of media bias. Thus, in our study, online media bias represents a contextual adaptation of media bias to the digital environment, pointing out the impact of online platforms on the current social and political context. Original data are provided by the V-Democracy dataset, from the variable Media Bias. Our terminology proposes an adaptation to the current context, which is dominated by online sources of information.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
