Verification versus Disinformation:
The Gaza Conflict
How should data journalists navigate times of war? Is Artificial Intelligence a helpful ally or a hindrance to journalists? What tools does journalism possess to combat the spread of fake news?
These critical questions were addressed by students of the Master's Degree in Digital and Data Journalism on Monday, November 27, during a conference organized by the postgraduate program in the Assembly Hall of Nebrija University's School of Communication and Arts. Moderated by the program director, Celia Sancho Belinchón, a roundtable discussion featuring Alejandro Herrera Díaz, Deputy Director of 20Minutos, and Borja Díaz-Merry, Head of RTVEVerifica, shed light on the tools available to journalists in the fight against misinformation.
During the session, both journalists underscored the importance of verifying information before dissemination, emphasizing the need for journalistic rigor. As Alejandro Herrera aptly stated, "It is better to take a few minutes to confirm the veracity of content than to regret it later."
