description Introduction: fake news is one of the most frequently discussed subjects in the media, a problem that has become more evident with the rise of social and digital networks assuming the role of main information disseminators. From this perspective, it is important to be connected to a simple, fast communication vehicle that reaches many people. Media may also damage quality of scientific health communication with a negative impact on citizens’ lives. Objective: in this context, this article aims to reflect on fake news and the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which has devastated the world since the beginning of 2020, particularly in Brazil. Methods: countless actions have been taken to contain what the World Health Organization (WHO) calls an “infodemic” that is present in everyday life, invading houses, mobile phones, and computers, in a time of social isolation and working from home. In this scenario, it is up to journalists, communicators, scientists, and health professionals jointly to share important information and to communicate about health and science in a responsible way. Conclusion: in a crisis it becomes essential that information reaches a large number of people and community leaders in order to influence people positively, which might help to save lives.

Nessa perspectiva, é importante estar conectado a um veículo de comunicação simples, rápido e que chegue a muitas pessoas. A mídia também pode prejudicar a qualidade da comunicação científica em saúde com impacto negativo na vida dos cidadãos. Objetivo: nesse contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre fake news e a pandemia da doença do coronavírus (COVID-19), que assolou o mundo desde o início de 2020, principalmente no Brasil. Método: inúmeras ações têm sido tomadas para conter o que a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) chama de “infodemia” que está presente no dia a dia, invadindo casas, celulares e computadores, em tempos de isolamento social e trabalho em casa. Nesse cenário, cabe aos jornalistas, comunicadores, cientistas e profissionais da saúde, em conjunto, compartilhar informações importantes e comunicar sobre saúde e ciência de forma responsável. Conclusão: numa crise torna-se essencial que a informação chegue a um grande número de pessoas e líderes comunitários de forma a influenciar positivamente as pessoas, o que pode ajudar a salvar vidas.Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências2023-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/jhgd/article/view/1493810.36311/jhgd.v33.14938Journal of Human Growth and Development; Vol. 33 No. 3 (2023); 493-500Journal of Human Growth and Development; v. 33 n. 3 (2023); 493-5002175-35980104-128210.36311//reponame:Journal of Human Growth and Development (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP)instacron:UNESPenghttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/jhgd/article/view/14938/15544Copyright (c) 2023 Galvão T, Noll PRES, Silveira EA, Noll Minfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGalvão, TássiaRayanne E.
