English abstract

The concept of "false news" became a topical issue during the U.S. elections in 2016, when news with little or no basis spread rapidly in the social media, causing some concern about its possible influence on the democratic process. But the existence of "false news" is not new. Disinformation wars" already existed in ancient Rome. The great problem of the 21st century is that the information ecosystem has changed profoundly as a consequence of the possibilities offered by information technology, so that if in past times information was undermined by hiding or suppressing it, today the opposite is true, making such a large amount of information and so many different signs available to everyone that it is difficult even for an expert to discern what information is real and what is not. As Julie Posetti and Alice Matthews state, "powerful new technologies simplify the manipulation and fabrication of content, and social networks drastically amplify the falsehoods sold by anti-democratic governments, populist politicians and dishonest corporate entities.

Spanish abstract

El concepto de “noticias falsas” se convirtió en un tema de actualidad durante las elecciones de EE.UU. en 2016, cuando las noticias con poca o ninguna base se difundieron rápidamente en los medios sociales, causando cierta preocupación sobre su posible influencia en el proceso democrático. Pero la existencia de “noticias falsas” no es algo nuevo. Las “guerras de desinformación” ya existían en la antigua Roma. El gran problema del siglo XXI es que el ecosistema informativo ha cambiado profundamente como consecuencia de las posibilidades que brinda la tecnología de la información, de modo que si en tiempos pretéritos se socavaba la información a base de ocultarla o suprimirla, en la actualidad se actúa de manera completamente opuesta, poniendo a disposición de todo el mundo tal cantidad de información y de tan diferente signo, que es difícil incluso para un experto discernir qué información es real y cual no lo es. Tal como afirman Julie Posetti y Alice Matthews “las nuevas y poderosas tecnologías simplifican la manipulación y fabricación de contenidos, y las redes sociales amplifican drásticamente las falsedades que venden los gobiernos antidemocráticos, los políticos populistas y las entidades corporativas deshonestas”
