In this episode, we discuss the concept of fake news, its spread through networks, polarization, effects on Brazilian politics, its relationship with journalism, fact-checking, and other topics.
The discussion brings together a strong team: Tatiana Dourado, a doctoral student in communication and politics at UFBA who studies fake news; Pablo Ortellado, a USP professor and deputy coordinator of the Monitor do Debate Político no Meio Digital; and Fábio Vasconcellos, a professor and researcher at FGV-Rio and deputy coordinator of FGV’s Center for Technology and Society.
Política em Rede is a project of the National Institute of Science and Technology in Digital Democracy (INCT.DD), dedicated to discussing politics, democracy, communication, and the internet.
