“…This aspect entails curricular strengthening and an innovative development of the profession. Academicians and communication media are becoming aware of fact-checking journalism as a quality assurance practice and a duty in exercising the profession, thereby necessitating learning new competencies (Ufarte-Ruiz, Peralta-García, & Murcia-Verdú, 2018). Therefore, it is appropriate to facilitate the acquisition of university knowledge to provide aspiring journalists with new professional opportunities available at small media outlets, which are more independent, diverse, and committed to professional, social, and ethical values.…”

Fact-checking alliances emerged worldwide to debunk political disinformation in electoral contexts because of social concerns related to information authenticity. This study, thus, included the Latin American context in fact-checking journalism studies as a journalistic practice to fight political disinformation. Through analyzing RedCheq, the first fact-checking journalism alliance in an electoral regional context led by Colombiacheck, 11 in-depth interviews were conducted to identify the perceptions of regional fact-checkers regarding the usefulness of this journalistic practice, its achievements, and the key aspects for incorporating fact-checking into the regional media ecosystem. The study results revealed that RedCheq achieved the goal of fighting disinformation, and that fact-checking developed as transformational leverage for the regional media. Regional journalists perceived fact-checking as an element that restores credibility and social trust in regional media as the epistemology of this journalistic practice neglects the power pressure and dissemination of official narratives. Finally, this study highlighted how fact-checking journalism contributes to the democratic quality and civic empowerment in silenced and polarized environments. In addition, it discussed the need to expand fact-checking journalism’s coverage to new geographical areas and improve journalists’ professional competencies and training, thereby enabling them to function as using verification tools based on regional journalists’ requirements.

“…Instead, it raises a wide range of genres, formats and platforms to explain in depth the why of the news, their impact on social life, the economic consequences or the relationships between news and others. Journalistic content is not limited to the news genre, but will innovate in the platform-content relationship through transmedia narratives (Calvo, 2018), virtual reality and 360-degree video technology (Cantero, Sidorenko and Herranz, 2018), fact-checking to reduce the spread of fake news (Ufarte, Peralta and Murcia, 2018), podcasting formats and the growing prominence of the informed image, among other fields of action.…”

“…Especialmente, es meritorio señalar que en América Latina la gran mayoría de medios de verificación surgen fuera de los medios convencionales y están conformando un nuevo ecosistema periodístico (Palau-Sampio, 2018;. Ello suscita una nueva ventana de oportunidades laborales que, no obstante, requiere de una serie de competencias y habilidades para su desarrollo (Ufarte-Ruiz et al, 2018).…”

El periodismo de verificación o fact-checking journalism ha experimentado un auge en todo el mundo y mayor incidencia en el debate público. Este artículo plantea una reflexión sobre el periodismo de verificación centrada en los retos y dilemas epistemológicos que habiliten cumplir el triple objetivo de este nuevo género periodístico: velar por la veracidad de la información difundida en redes y plataformas sociales, realizar un escrutinio al poder y transformar la información en conocimiento asumible por los ciudadanos. Mediante el análisis de la metodología de medios de verificación iberoamericanos de habla hispana se exponen varias cuestiones ligadas con el proceso de verificación, de difusión y de recepción. Igualmente se analiza el rol del ciudadano en el proceso de verificación y se analiza la disonancia de datos en los dos principales listados de verificación (International Fact-Checking Network y el Duke Reporter’s Lab).
