We live in the age of hoaxes, every day we are exposed to a constant influx of information and misinformation, however, both look alike.
To differentiate them and get rid of what is called "fake news", Clara Jiménez and other journalists have created maldita.es, a nonprofit organisation who focuses on journalism investigation and visibility of this phenomenon. In her talk, she unmasks some of the common techniques that misinformants use and she teaches us how to avoid falling into their traps.
Clara is cofounder of maldita.es, along with Julio Montes. It is an independent journalism project whose aim is to give citizens "the tools to fight against deceiving."
Clara has developed the majority of her professional career in Sexta channel, first of all in the informative services and later on in different programs like Debate Al Rojo Vivo, la Sexta Columna and la Sexta Noche. Between 2013 and 2018 she was a member of El Objectivo de Ana Pastor. She is also a member of the International Advisory Board Fact-Checking Network. She left la Sexta to dedicate her time to Maldita.es project and she collaborates in Julia program in Onda from Onda Cero and Gente Despierta from RNE.
