Descripción
Sumario:The current globalization process makes information a resource that goes beyond its use by a sovereign state and extends to other hegemonic groups. This makes information not only a commodity for exchange, but also an institutional threat when there is improper handling of it. The subject of the work is “Journalism and Disinformation” and its objective is to show the characteristics of disinformation in the context of the Post-Truth Era and present the categories of this communication phenomenon. This research develops disinformation from social communication based on the current situation of pandemic worldwide, for which to refer to the work developed by the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) as part of the ICFJ Global Health Crisis Reporting Forum in the first months of 2020. Disinformation is approached from the following theoretical aspects: Political Communication and Construction of the News. The Political Communication takes into account the actors of this and their constant conflict over the imposition of the political agenda in the mediated public space. On the other hand, in the Construction of the News, not only local aspects are considered, but also transnational news, digital media and social networks. The most prominent is the importance of the media as the main actor and responsible for disinformation as a process.
