FOREWORD. Analysis of disinformation: strategies (in) of information disorders
Main Article Content
Abstract
The irruption of the term disinformation in public debates and in the political and media agendas has limited its definition. Frequently, the term fake news has monopolized the approach to the problem, reducing its complexity to a mere information product. However, this reductionist vision has been surpassed by other more open ones where the problem is identified as a process (information disorder) (Wardle and Derakhshanm, 2018) and not as a mere result (fake news).
The consequences caused by this misinformation affect the proper development of democratic environments and citizen decision-making with the possibility of generating adverse consequences (Lewandowsky, Ecker and Cook, 2017). For this reason, it is necessary to analyze disinformation within its ecosystem, identifying its typology and intentions, the promoters and managers, its representation in different formats, and the effects and possible solutions. All this in the context of the Information Society in which we find ourselves. It is also necessary to broaden research approaches and practices from more qualitative and open perspectives.
