[Bigdatasur] [Blog Post] How Chilean activists used citizen-generated data to fight disinformation

[Tomás Dodds Rojas]

Dear all,

I would like to invite you to check out a blog post I wrote recently about the current situation of protests and media in Chile.

On this new blog post I provide insights into how Chilean activists have started using citizen-generated data to fight media disinformation and the Governments’ attempts to conceal cases of human rights violations from the public.

You can check out the blog here: https://data-activism.net/2020/01/how-chilean-activists-used-self-gathered-data-to-fight-disinformation/

So many questions rise up in the light of this case and certainly this is something we will be working on in the future.

A bit about me: I am a Chilean journalist and PhD researcher at Leiden University, joining now as a Lecturer in New Media and Digital Culture at UvA.

Looking forward to hear your comments about this topic, and please don't hesitate to write if you have any further questions.

All the best,

T.
