Lucía Ballesteros-Aguayo, Professor in the Audiovisual Communication and Advertising Department of the University of Seville (Spain), will be developing her research in DigiMedia together with Professor Vania Baldi within the Cyberculture research group for three months (01/10/20 – 30/12/20).
During her research stay, she will be focusing on the post-truth in times of pandemic, addressing latent issues in today’s digital society such as fake news, information manipulation, hoaxes or misinformation, and providing alternatives and detection mechanisms in relation to the so-called “alternative truths”. All of them, issues that concern public opinion and that are of great interest to supranational institutions such as the EU (see the Grupo de Trabajo East Stratcom, the Action Plan against Disinformation or the High Level Group (HLEG) on fake news and online disinformation).
