In recent years there has been a growing global debate on fake news, technically as
"disinformation" and in recent months the expression "infodemic" coined by the WHO
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What these two terms have in common - and the object
of this study - is the relationship they have with freedom of expression and the right to
information, these fundamental and corollary rights of democracy. Disinformation is a
worrying factor for democracy because they confuse and polarize citizens, generate a loss
of credibility and confidence in the media, and distort the content of the public debate.
Therefore, it is essential to think about a revised education in the Information Age and
media literacy.
