Resumen

En la esfera pública contemporánea la verdad es impugnada no solo desde las nuevas plataformas de comunicación digitales, sino también desde instituciones como la política o el periodismo convencional. La adquisición de conocimiento para la toma de decisiones ciudadanas se ve cuestionada por la creciente polarización política, la fragmentación mediática, el absolutismo moral y las dudas suscitadas por la verificación de datos que ejercen nuevos agentes comunicativos. Si bien la libertad de expresión ha sido el derecho exigido en el debate público y los medios alternativos se muestran útiles para elevar contradiscursos contra las élites, las falsedades intencionadas y los discursos de odio que circulan de forma masiva en el actual sistema híbrido de comunicación ponen seriamente en peligro bienes de titularidad pública, como la salud y los procesos electorales.
