What Do Recent Elections in Latin America Teach Us About Electoral Disinformation? This workshop, led by journalists from Agence France-Presse (AFP), will analyze the main disinformation narratives that circulated during various electoral processes in the region and the lessons they offer for future scenarios. It will also include a hands-on session to learn digital fact-checking techniques, such as tracing the origin of images and videos and conducting more precise and efficient searches. 

This event is part of the Third InMediaciones Conference on Communication, a forum for discussion and exchange focused on the challenges, transformations, and new perspectives in contemporary communication.
