¿Por qué las fake news nos joden la vida?

This book is about telling the truth. Because the news may be false, but its consequences are real: they misinform, promote dangerous practices, affect organizations and our work, increase emotional disorders and even endanger your health. Tell me the truth: are you worried about fake news? Have you ever believed yourself? 86% of the people, yes. Do you think you are capable of differentiating the real news from the fake ones? 60% think so but only 15% are. And the others, do you think they are capable? More than you? Or less? 63% believe that normal people are no longer able to differentiate real news from fake news. Have you gotten to argue with someone because of false news? Have you seen yourself defending the truth or falsehood of a news item with a friend or a co-worker? I do. And like me, one in three people. Has believing false news caused you any emotional problems? To 20% of the population, yes. Have you ever created or spread false news? Remember, this book is about telling the truth. We live in a new era of communication where everything can be real or false. An era with more fake news than ever, with more lies than ever, with the news more at war than ever and with more social polarization than ever. And the impact of misinformation is in many cases devastating. Are you ready to fight fake news?
