“…Además, una comprensión más profunda de la verificación de hechos implica nuevas preguntas, como la relación entre las actitudes de la audiencia hacia ciertos medios de comunicación y verificadores o cómo sus desmentidos son instrumentalizados por otras fuentes (Robertson et al, 2020). Investigaciones recientes sobre el caso español muestran, por ejemplo, que estas iniciativas son o bien desconocidas por la población, o bien consideradas politizadas (Calvo et al, 2022).…”

En la esfera pública contemporánea la verdad es impugnada no solo desde las nuevas plataformas de comunicación digitales, sino también desde instituciones como la política o el periodismo convencional. La adquisición de conocimiento para la toma de decisiones ciudadanas se ve cuestionada por la creciente polarización política, la fragmentación mediática, el absolutismo moral y las dudas suscitadas por la verificación de datos que ejercen nuevos agentes comunicativos. Si bien la libertad de expresión ha sido el derecho exigido en el debate público y los medios alternativos se muestran útiles para elevar contradiscursos contra las élites, las falsedades intencionadas y los discursos de odio que circulan de forma masiva en el actual sistema híbrido de comunicación ponen seriamente en peligro bienes de titularidad pública, como la salud y los procesos electorales.

The purpose of this article is to analyse the perceptions, social discourses and practices regarding the verification processes of the information consumed in the context of the information disorder that societies are experiencing. To do this, we created seven discussion groups structured around the variables age, position in the social structure and political ideology. We found that (1) there is a shared perception about how disinformation compromises one of the basic pillars of democracy; (2) this perception contradicts the few practices used to verify the information consumed; (3) macro-structural changes that generate a climate of less polarization, more critical education and regulation of information practices are put forward as solutions to disinformation and the circulation of false information.

The aim of this research is to analyse the electoral misinformation circulating in the public space as a whole during campaign periods. The sample is made up of 481 rebuttals published by the verification media Maldita.es, Newtral, Efe Verifica and Verificat in relation to 409 pieces of misinformation during the six campaigns carried out in Spain during the political cycle that began in the general election in November 2019, which also includes the regional elections held in Galicia, the Basque Country, Catalonia, Madrid, Castilla y León, and Andalusia. The methodology consists of a content analysis of 13 variables articulated around five dimensions of study: scope of generation and/or dissemination, format, epistemological authority, prominence, theme, and discourse. The results show: (1) the predominance of the citizen space of social networks as a field for the generation and distribution of electoral misinformation; (2) the crude construction of misinformation, with a preponderance of text as a misinformation element accompanied by multimedia resources shared without alteration; (3) the pre-eminence of problematic materials disseminated anonymously and without citing sources and those actually distributed by the political class, especially the right wing; (4) the majority role of the political class, particularly the left, generally characterised in a negative manner, although the political class of the right receives a greater proportion of positive treatment; (5) the abundance of sectoral and ideological themes, with a prominent presence of attacking elites as the predominant populist discursive feature; and (6) the profusion of direct attacks on political rivals, especially related to ideological and management issues.
