Observatório fake news: fontes e recursos informacionais na cena da pós-verdade

Abstract

This article presents the Observatório Fake News (Fake News Observatory) and its methodology for the development of studies about post-truth, fake news and audited information sources. From a methodological perspective, three dimensions are proposed for the collection, the analysis and the identification of fake news: the informational dimension, the cultural dimension and the technological dimension. Thus, from the selection and ordered analysis of fake news in typified categories such as health, politics, religion, advertising, science and technology and entertainment, it was possible to establish the concepts of source of audited information and audited spaces of information, which provide contributions to mitigate damages caused by the dissemination and interlocution actions with false information in the media spaces of the internet .
