This work aims to understand Projeto Comprova as a legitimation strategy of the journalistic field. We also propose an initial approach with the crosscheck experience, during the debate about fake news. The principal strategy used in this case is credibility, which is obtained in a deal between journalism and society. This deal allows a trust relationship. At Projeto Comprova, there is a concern in detail the verification process, which causes a modification in the narrative order. Besides, in the fake news context, the idea of news itself changed in checking business. In the digital ambience, there is a modification in the narrative built with emphasis in the verification of facts or data: if the journalistic companies classify some information as false, it becomes news.Este estudo tem por objetivo compreender o Projeto Comprova como estratégia de legitimação do campo jornalístico e propor uma primeira aproximação com a experiência de checagem cruzada, em meio ao debate sobre notícias falsas. A principal estratégia acionada nesse caso é a de credibilidade, obtida num acordo entre jornalismo e sociedade, que permite que seja estabelecida uma relação de confiança. No Projeto Comprova, há uma preocupação por detalhar o processo de apuração, causando uma modificação de ordem narrativa. Além disso, a partir da noção de fake news, modifica-se a própria ideia do que é notícia em iniciativas de checagem, de modo que a narrativa construída com ênfase no processo de apuração de fatos ou de dados na ambiência digital transforma a classificação de uma informação como falsa pelas organizações jornalísticas na própria notícia.Este trabajo tiene como objetivo comprender el Projeto Comprova como estrategia de legitimación del entorno periodístico y proponer una primera aproximación con la experiencia de chequeo cruzado, en medio a discusiones sobre noticias falsas.

Interlopers are a class of digital-peripheral journalists and outlets who position their work as journalism, but who have struggled to be recognized as such. While we have long acknowledged journalism’s place online, as digital-peripheral journalists interlopers face challenges when it comes to appreciating their work as news and their contributions as journalism. This article argues their contributions warrant further evaluation as the journalistic field continues to confront change and engage new approaches to journalism, and as interlopers continue to produce news. Using Deadspin’s coverage of the Sinclair Broadcast Group as an exemplar of such contributions, this article details an approach which accounts for interlopers’ unique approaches to news, locating in broader news discourse measures of “journalistic realization” as a legitimating discourse. Its findings tentatively suggest a weakening of historically hardened boundaries between journalism’s core and its periphery, and argue for continued, nuanced exploration of the nature of the journalistic field.

The current media ecosystem, derived from the consolidation of Information and Communication Technologies, shows a scenario in which the relationship between the media and their audience is being redefined. This represents a challenge for journalistic practice. In the digital age, the public actively participates in the construction and dissemination of news through social networks. Faced with this loss of control by the media, fake news and disinformation are emerging as one of the main problems of journalistic practice in a competitive business context, and with a high saturation of news content. In this situation, fact checkers emerge as key players in the information verification process. This research comparatively analyses the main fact checkers in Spain and the United Kingdom through content analysis applied to their corporate websites to understand their characteristics and working methodologies. The results underline that they are concerned with the concepts of transparency and honesty, along with showing their funding streams. The rigorousness of the verification process also stands out, as well as the importance of dialogue with the audience in their work. While in Spain they are featured by their non-profit nature and their international coverage, UK fact checkers focus on national information and are sometimes conceived as a business.

Eine Hausärztin, die, statt ein Physio-Rezept auszustellen, auf Übungen aus der Apotheken Umschau verweist? Unmöglich, sollte man meinen. Doch Physiotherapeutin Ulrike Maier belehrt eines Besseren. Ihre unwissende Hausärztin von nebenan liefert ihren Patienten gerne mal „alternative Fakten“ und hat bei ihren physiotherapeutischen Kenntnissen noch dringend Nachholbedarf.

Éste trabajo parte de una información compartida por muchos investigadores. La comprensión de la desinformación como un fenómeno que va mucho más allá del término “noticias falsas”. Estos términos han sido apropiados y usados engañosamente por poderosos actores para desestimar y poner en entredicho la cobertura informativa que ya atraviesa momentos críticos sobre la credibilidad.

In the Qur'an we find different concepts of trust situated within different ethical discourses. A rather unambiguous ethico-religious discourse of the trust relationship between the believer and God can be seen embodied in conceptions of tawakkul. God is the absolute wakīl, the guardian, trustee or protector. Consequently He is the only holder of an all-encompassing trusteeship, and the normative claim upon the human being is to trust God unconditionally. There are however other, more polyvalent, conceptions of trust. The main discussion in this article evolves around the conceptions of trust as expressed in the polysemic notion of amāna, involving both trust relationships between God and man and inter-human trust relationships. This concept of trust involves both trusting and being trusted, although the strongest and most explicit normative claim put forward is on being trustworthy in terms of social ethics as well as in ethico-religious discourse. However, ‘trusting’ when it comes to fellow human beings is, as we shall see, framed in the Qur'an in less absolute terms, and conditioned by circumstantial factors; the Qur'anic antithesis to social trust is primarily betrayal, ‘khiyāna’, rather than mistrust.
