“…Las grandes revistas de Estados Unidos contaron con prestigiosos departamentos de verificación que, durante décadas, alcanzaron una justa fama, sobre todo los de Time y The New Yorker, entre otras. Su tarea consistía en repasar las notas y las transcripciones de los periodistas, cuidar que los diferentes puntos de vista estuvieran representados con exactitud, contrastar con las fuentes los datos -no las citas-(Currie Sivek y Bloyd-Peshkin, 2018;Fole, 2012;Guerrini, 2013) 11 .…”

Las plataformas de verificación de datos se han convertido en un movimiento que, nacido en Estados Unidos, se ha extendido por todo el mundo. Su objetivo es luchar contra la desinformación, las percepciones erróneas y las falsas noticias en el nuevo ecosistema comunicativo en el que las redes sociales adquieren relevancia como fuente de información, y en el que es cada vez más fácil –y asequible a miles de millones de ciudadanos– producir, editar y distribuir (falsa) información. Casi toda la bibliografía y los casos de estudio se han centrado en Estados Unidos. Sobre la verificación de datos en castellano, solo se han investigado las plataformas de verificación en español que el Duke reporter´s Lab incluía en 2018 en su base de datos, así como nueve iniciativas en español surgidas desde 2010 en media docena de países latinoamericanos. En este artículo, después de un marco teórico, abordamos la realidad del fact checking en España. Mediante un análisis cualitativo, identificamos y analizamos las webs de verificación y las actividades de chequeo de información en nuestro país. Ello se complementa con entrevistas a los periodistas que han llevado a cabo iniciativas de fact checking en nuestro entorno. La realidad del fact checking en España, como se demuestra, se haya todavía en una fase incipiente.

“…The emergence of this kind of independent media, specialised in fact-checking and in the implementation of sections devoted to this task in media with more experience (Cherubini & Graves, 2016) is the result of the constant acceleration experienced in the cycle of news production as a consequence of the dissemination of information through the Internet (Currie Sivek & Bloyd-Peshkin, 2018;Hermida, 2012). This increased speed has cast doubts on the time devoted by media professionals to investigate the particularities and deeper data of the topics addressed as well as the quality of the verification process (Brandtzaeg, Følstad & Chaparro Domínguez, 2017).…”

“…Fact-checking has also had an impact on citizenry. Thus, more and more media and independent fact-checking platforms try to involve their audience in the process of contrasting information (Currie Sivek & Bloyd-Peshkin, 2018;Haigh, Haigh & Kozak, 2017). Therefore, although citizens have the power to produce fake contents and disseminate them with relative ease through spaces such as social networks, media of reference and independent fact-checking initiatives put at their disposal the possibility of exercising as factcheckers, either by providing their testimonials and original documents or being they who look for the origin of the contents published.…”

Fact-checking has become one of the most relevant activities of recent years, as a result of the increase in the flow of fake news and of the ease to spread news through platforms such as social media. The goal of the research is to assess the task of fact-checking developed by initiatives that use Spanish as a vehicle for comparing inaccurate and false information. We carried out a case study of 19 international projects that use Spanish as the main language to materialise their factchecking actions and the analysis of contents published aims at understanding where these companies develop their activities, how are them internally organized and which methods they use to translate the data obtained to the audience. Results show that most of fact-checking projects in Spanish-launched most of them in the period 2014-2016remain active. In South America, these organizations have more weight. Most of them have a journalistic nature, although there is a large number of civic and independent projects. Among strategies for verification, text is the preferred formula, although some innovative methods to present the degree of accuracy of assessed contents have been found.

“…As discussed earlier, these are the two spaces where misinformation most common occurs. Consequently, information verification must exist in these environments (Currie Sivek & Bloyd-Peshkin, 2018). This practice is the answer to a quality which is inherent in both fact-checking organizations and professionals; their ability to adapt to a particular context in order to stop the spreading of misinformation (Stencel, 2015).…”

The spread of misinformation has become standard practice in today’s communicative scene. Both individual users and organizations disseminate false content for economic or political benefits. The response against these strategies has been to develop initiatives to both verify false information as well as prevent it from being spread. This article presents actions adopted by different actors to stop the spread of fake news. These actors are European institutions, national governments, the media, and major technology companies. Thus, this paper takes a comprehensive look at how misinformation is addressed in the European Union by studying reports and legislative texts and reviewing the growth of fact-checking initiatives.A disseminação da desinformação se tornou uma prática muito comum no atual cenário comunicativo. Utilizadores individuais e organizações disseminam conteúdo falso para obter benefício econômico ou político. A resposta contra essas estratégias tem sido o desenvolvimento de iniciativas cujo objetivo é tanto a verificação de informações falsas quanto a prevenção da sua disseminação. O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar as ações tomadas por diferentes atores com a capacidade de impedir a disseminação de notícias falsas: instituições europeias e governos nacionais, os media e as principais empresas tecnológicas. Assim, através do estudo de relatórios e textos legislativos ou a revisão do crescimento das iniciativas de fact-checking, os autores desenharão uma panorâmica sobre como a desinformação é abordada na União Europeia.La propagación de desinformación se ha convertido en una práctica muy frecuente en el escenario comunicativo actual. Usuarios individuales y organizaciones hacen uso de la difusión de contenidos falsos para obtener rendimiento económico o político.

El objetivo del presente artículo es dar cuenta de las acciones adoptadas por los diferentes actores con capacidad para frenar la difusión de fake news: las instituciones europeas y los gobiernos nacionales, el periodismo y las principales empresas tecnológicas. A partir del estudio de diferentes informes y textos legislativos, así como de las herramientas diseñadas por las empresas tecnológicas o la revisión del crecimiento de iniciativas de fact-checking se dibuja una panorámica general de cómo se intenta combatir la desinformación en el marco de la Unión Europea.
