Abstract

Palabras-clave: fact-checking, fake news, crisis, comunicación, covid-19 Abstract: This research work presents an analysis of the media coverage and the dissemination of fake news and hoaxes through the social network Twitter and the work of verification and denial by different fact-checking platforms, in this case, Newtral and "Maldito Bulo". The investigation will focus on hoaxes about the measures taken by the Government of Spain during the "State of Alarm", period caused by the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the investigation will be determined by the contribution of the media to the issemination of hoaxes, increasing sensationalism and ignoring the principle of public service information by which the media should be governed. Sin embargo, el medicamento, promocionado por un supuesto licenciado en biología molecular es ilegal e incluso peligroso para la salud, tal y como apuntan informes del fack-checker español Newtral. 2.2.Twitter Desde el surgimiento, en 2006, de Twitter, esta red ha sido investigada en todos sus aspectos y manifestaciones, tal y como señala Campos-Domínguez (2017): desde el rol de los productores y receptores políticos, pasando por los efectos de su uso y exposición en las formas de hacer política o el estudio de las campañas y debates electorales televisados.
