“…La propaganda y la información de guerra son asuntos ampliamente estudiados a lo largo de los años (Sierra, 2003;Flores, 2007;Lavin de las Heras y Römer, 2015;Shirkey, 2016;McDonnald, 2020;Van der Hoeven & Kester, 2020;Lovelace, 2021;Ríos, 2022, entre otros). La información ha sido utilizada habitualmente para justificar la declaración de guerras, resultando uno de los casos más célebres la implicación norteamericana en la guerra de Cuba (Lowry, 2014).…”

La finalidad de esta investigación es analizar el fenómeno de Descifrando la guerra, un medio de comunicación surgido a partir de la iniciativa de varios usuarios de la red social Twitter y que logró su consolidación coincidiendo con el inicio de la guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. Para su estudio, se han combinado procedimientos de tipo cuantitativo, como el análisis de redes sociales, y cualitativo, como la ejecución de entrevistas en profundidad de tipo semiestructurado a sus principales directivos y el análisis de contenido web. Los resultados revelan que este medio, que nació en 2017 con la finalidad de llevar la política internacional a un público especializado, ha logrado despertar el interés público, consolidando un número considerable de seguidores, que se ha visto aumentado de forma notable con el estallido de la guerra de Ucrania, con el que ha superado incluso a otras plataformas similares de mayor experiencia.

“…State use of propaganda, as a way of broadcasting the ‘correct’ worldview, is inherent in their existence. At the end of the 19th century, the magnate William Randolph Hearst, considered the creator of the yellow press (Spencer, 2007), used his media empire to spread distorted news that benefited his interests, even precipitating the Spanish–American War of 1898 (Lowry, 2013). However, it must be acknowledged that today’s communicative ecosystem is not identical to that of the 19th century, or even that of the 20th century.…”

After the 2016 US presidential elections, the term ‘fake news’ became synonymous with disinformation and a catch-all term for the problems that social networks were bringing to communication. Four years later, there are dozens of empirical studies that have attempted to describe and analyse an issue that, despite still being in the process of definition, has been identified as one of the key COVID-19 cyberthreats by Interpol, is considered a threat to democracy by many states and supranational institutions and, as a consequence, is subject to regulation or even criminalization. These legislative and criminal policy interventions form part of the first stage in the construction of a moral panic that may lead to the restriction of freedom of expression and information. By analysing empirical research that attempts to measure the extent of the issue and its impact, the present article aims to provide critical reflection on the process of constructing fake news as a threat. Via a systematic review of the literature, we observe, firstly, that the concept of fake news used in empirical research is limited and should be refocused because it has not been constructed according to scientific criteria and can fail to include relevant elements and actors, such as governments and traditional media. Secondly, the article analyses what is known scientifically about the extent, consumption and impact of fake news and argues that it is problematic to establish causal relationships between the issue and the effects it has been said to produce. This conclusion requires us to conduct further research and to reconsider the position of fake news as a threat as well as the resulting regulation and criminalization.

“…The same sense of transnational affection that Dana expresses for Martí was complicit in shaping a sense of commonality that in other instances was used to justify Cuban annexation by the US. 22 For this reason the Martí-Dana friendship cannot be considered free from the material realities of late-nineteenth-century life, namely, the position of Cuba as a nation whose people did not confront the US on a remotely equal footing, as citizens of brother-nations, but as potential subjects of American imperial designs. It does not go far enough to read this obituary as merely a sign of Dana's love for his Cuban friend.…”

This article considers the friendship between the Cuban leader José Martí and the US journalist Charles Anderson Dana in relation to questions of transnationalism, print culture, modernist aesthetics, and the politics of dissent during the era of the Cuban War of Independence (1895–8). It investigates the radical potential and aesthetic difficulties of rendering genuine affection in print at a time in which American friendliness towards Cuba often served to mask imperialist intentions. I offer a reading of Charles Dana’s obituary for José Martí as a text that destabilizes assumptions about Cuban–American relations in the late nineteenth century by presenting an alternative political vision that incorporated the possibility of an autonomous Cuban subjectivity. In doing this, I resurrect the work of Charles Dana as a proto-modernist alternative vision of US culture that deployed the history of American Transcendentalism within the forms of late-nineteenth-century print media to register his opposition to the rise of modern press magnates such as W.R. Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. This article challenges dominant narratives on two fronts: first, by suggesting an alternative to normative accounts of the development of the late-nineteenth-century commercial press; second, by exploring the mutual interpenetration of Latin American and US American radical history.
