El bulo siempre ha existido, pero la difusión global, masiva e instantánea gracias a los entornos digitales es algo novedoso. Contagia a toda la sociedad. Nos coloca ante una pandemia de desinformación que nos reclama prevención y vacuna. Con esa idea —vacunar contra la información falsa— nace este manual. A los autores —profesores de la universidad pública e investigadores de las "fake news" desde distintas perspectivas— nos llegaban peticiones de sectores como periodistas o profesores de universidad y de Secundaria que anhelaban un manual con lenguaje claro, con ejercicios didácticos y con ejemplos cercanos que ayudaran a entender el fenómeno, y que pudiera usarse indistintamente en redacciones, facultades e institutos. Y con ese propósito hemos trabajado: abordamos desde qué es una "fake news" hasta cómo se verifica una noticia; desde cómo el cerebro crea sesgos cognitivos que favorecen la desinformación hasta cómo Wikipedia o Facebook dominan el marco ideológico. Estudiamos la producción, la distribución y la recepción de textos, imágenes y sonidos, porque no sólo se miente con palabras. Y exploramos cómo repercute la desinformación en ámbitos diversos como el auge de los populismos o la salud, sobre todo tras la pandemia del Covid-19.
Tackling health inequalities to achieve health equity is currently one of the main challenges for developed and developing countries. Aware of this reality, and knowing how relevant for economic and social growth the inequalities in health are, the Spanish Ministry of Health and Social Policy has established "Innovation in Public Health: monitoring social determinants of health and reduction of health inequalities" as one of the priorities for the Spanish presidency of the European Union in the first semester of 2010. Furthermore, a national strategy to tackle health inequalities is being developed in the current political term. By choosing this priority, the Spanish Ministry of Health an Social Policy aims to contribute to move forward a coherent and effective agenda at both European and national level, in a new world stage more aware of the social and economic expenditure of inequity in health and its repercussions on countries welfare and development.
