The huge lie and the great truth of information in times of after truth

Abstract

The present times, in which the production of content is so high, dispersed and divergent, does not allow citizens to reflect on what is written, who does or where the main idea originated. Accustomed to the pleasure of enjoying information for more than 24 hours, which was the value time of the news in the twentieth century, and moving to the current century where it lasts only a few hours, entails an exercise to determine that all the information that circulates is true. We are in the times of the future, where social networks rule because the majority consumption is achieved in them. The media have yielded a witness that made them informative referents and also generators of public opinion. The challenge is not to get information. Now the value is in the source, although the majority of the users prefer the speed that they offer the social networks against the veracity of the traditional means.
