La desinformación en las redes de mensajería instantánea. Estudio de las fake news en los canales relacionados con la ultraderecha española en Telegr…
2021
espanolOne of the most uncontrolled and wides-pread sources of misinformation are the instant messaging platforms, mainly due to the privacy of the communication spaces created in them. The dissemination of false news on these networks makes it difficult to detect them and thus complicates the task of fact-checking. Both WhatsApp and Tele-gram were used and integrated in the elec-toral campaign of the previous elections in the United States (Journell, 2017; Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017), in the United Kingdom on the occasion of the Brexit (Kucharski 2016), in Brazil (Novomisky, 2018), and recently in the autonomous elections of Andalusia (Spain) (Viejo, 2018). This research takes as a case stud…

La linea spezzata. Una ricostruzione critica dell'attuale deficit di coerenza
2021
Siamo nell’era della smemoratezza. Una smemoratezza prodotta dalla sovrabbondanza di informazioni, dalla pratica del multitasking, dalla propensione a demandare la conservazione dei ricordi ai device e ai cloud di cui facciamo uso ogni giorno. La fragilità della memoria ha spezzato la linea che congiungeva passato, presente e futuro, la linea che li attraversava e li rendeva coerenti. Ma lo ha fatto solo nella nostra testa, perché sul piano della realtà gli effetti delle scelte di ieri non smettono di presentarsi all’oggi. L’allargamento degli orizzonti culturali prodotto dalla globalizzazione ha ridotto tutti gli elementi del nostro panorama a dettagli lontani e indistinguibili. Ma lo ha f…
Quality recognition as a prescriber against disinformation
2022
El contexto mediático híbrido y la infodemia han incrementado el peligro de la desinformación, sobre todo entre los jóvenes, que mayoritariamente consumen contenidos digitales.

A partir de un doble estudio comparativo, por países y nivel de formación, se pretende determinar las destrezas de futuros periodistas en el reconocimiento de información falsa. A través de un cuestionario online, los participantes (N=300) evaluaron la calidad observada (mínima, media o exc…

espanolEste trabajo estudia la construccion de la imagen de la otredad a traves de la desinformacion en Internet.

Los atributos mas transmitidos asociaron la otredad a la recepcion de ayu…
Striking a balance between disinformation on social media platforms and freedom of expression in the European Union
2022
The growing influence and adverse effects of disinformation on social media platforms have already presented challenges not only to the European Union and its Member States but also to social media platforms and human rights activists. One of the most crucial challenges from a legal perspective has been finding the appropriate tools to regulate disinformation while preserving the right to freedom of speech, bearing in mind that there is no uniform definition of disinformation on a global level. While there are notable attempts to limit the spread of disinformation on social media platforms from the European Commission and the various Member States, this thesis aims to analyse their effectiv…

Media crisis and disinformation: the participation of digital newspapers in the dissemination of a denialist hoax
2021
Disinformation is a communicative phenomenon that frequently feeds on political or electoral topics, as well as other aspects of our reality. This research takes as a case study the coverage given by the Spanish digital media to a hoax broadcast during the Filomena storm in 2021 that insisted that the snow was plastic. The purpose of this work is to analyze the instrumentalization of fake information as an expression of the information media crisis in the current context of disinformation. We set out four specific objectives: (SO1) to study the spread of the hoax through the media, (SO2) to analyze the construction of headlines in the news pieces, (SO3) to investigate the treatment of the h…
