La circulación de la información y la verdad. Claves para su abordaje

En un mundo atravesado por la aceleración digital, la circulación de la información enfrenta desafíos inéditos. Este libro colectivo indaga en las tensiones entre verdad, desinformación y democracia, desde una mirada crítica y situada en América Latina. A partir de conceptos clave como credibilidad, verificación, polarización, algoritmos y educación mediática, autoras y autores analizan cómo se construyen, filtran y consumen las noticias en un entorno marcado por el desorden informativo.
