“…As a result, the spread of fake news has been a growing phenomenon. Broadly, the term fake news has been referred to as propaganda, deception, manipulation, fabrication, news satire and news parody (Khaldarova & Pantti, 2016;Marchi, 2012;Tandoc Jr, Lim, & Ling, 2017). More specifically, we adopt the definition by Bakir and McStay (2017, p. 1) as 'either wholly false or containing deliberately misleading elements incorporated within its content or context'.…”

Fake news has trumped up attention across cultures from the United States Elections to the Arab Spring. While political marketers have long used the language of fear and persuasion in their messaging, social media has intensified its impact.

“…También en la desinformación se acredita un uso de los medios como refuerzo o confirmación de ideas previas o expectativas que buscan ser convalidadas a través de relatos diversos. Por otra parte, se insiste en que a menudo los ciudadanos usan estos materiales engañosos o escandalosos como «entretenimiento propagandístico» (Khaldarova y Pantti, 2016), y no estrictamente como contenidos informativos. Por todo ello es difícil evaluar el impacto de la desinformación -entendida como difusión deliberada e interesada de contenidos falsos, no comprobados o de imposible comprobación-en la credibilidad de los medios (Thorson, 2016;Shin et al, 2016).…”

Recibido el: 30 de abril de 2019. / Aceptado: 28 de septiembre de 2019.Resumen. La desinformación y las denominadas «noticias falsas» no son fenómenos completamente nuevos. Es nuevo el contexto socioprofesional y tecnológico que permite una difusión masiva y rápida de contenidos falsos. Sin embargo, el periodismo ha convivido desde sus inicios con la mentira interesada, la deformación o manipulación de noticias. Ello ha tenido como consecuencia mediata o inmediata una cierta pérdida la credibilidad. Este artículo pretende analizar desde una perspectiva histórica esa pérdida de la credibilidad periodística. En contra de lo que se tiende a pensar, el modelo de periodismo informativo y riguroso supone casi una anomalía histórica, puesto que los intereses ideológicos y comerciales han tendido a imponer sus criterios en las prácticas periodísticas imperantes. Palabras claves: desinformación, «fake news», noticias falsas, credibilidad periodística, manipulación.[en] Misinformation, manipulation and journalistic credibility: a historical perspective Abstract. Misinformation and so-called «fake news» are not completely new phenomena. The socio-professional and technological context that allows a massive and rapid diffusion of false contents is new. However, journalism has coexisted since its inception with the interested lie, deformation or manipulation of news. This has had as a direct or immediate consequence a certain loss of credibility. This article aims to analyze from a historical perspective that loss of journalistic credibility. Contrary to what one tends to think, the model of informative and rigorous journalism supposes almost a historical anomaly, since the ideological and commercial interests have tended to impose their criteria in the prevailing journalistic practices.Sumario: 1.

“…The recent popular media debates surrounding the ubiquity of fake news constitute but one moment in a much longer history of examining, documenting, and contextualizing the proliferation of false news and information. Based on even a cursory overview of scholarship on propaganda (Ellul; Herman and Chomsky; Cunningham; Mirrlees), pseudo‐events (Boorstin; Davies; Kent, Harrison and Taylor), or more recent accounts of the broad proliferation of fake news (Rampton and Stauber; Farsetta and Price; Goodman and Goodman; Manjoo; Khaldarova and Pantti), the above controversy is but a continuation of deeply systemic patterns that bolster the transmission of information of questionable integrity and value. The growing complexity of fake news production and dissemination is further exacerbated by the wide range of actors currently cementing the form into a ubiquitous mode of public discourse—propagandists, hoaxers, hackers, partisans, and activists.…”
