Las elecciones europeas de 2019 y las fake news / 2019 European elections contaminated by fake news

Abstract

Communication in Italy in the last European elections marks the victory of the algorithm on values and contents and reaffirms the very strong weight given by the fake news throughout the knowledge process on programs and candidates. It is a communication style that leads to the return of propaganda between populism and sovereignty. The survey on the communication of political parties in Italy bears witness this trend reversal and highlights the drifts that reinforce wickedness, individualism and a knowledge limited by the distortions generated by informational cascades.
