"Post-Truth", Politics and Regression
The algorithmic strategies of the "post-truth" era came to unconfigure politics and are undermining the foundations of the old democracies. In addition, the new ‘clickbait’ dynamics are aggravating the already fragile positioning of the journalistic phenomenon in the contemporary world.This algorithmic turn, which came to politics, news and social interaction, is evolving to a fathomless dimension, not only because it constituted the algorithm in gatekeeper but also because it created propaganda machines specializing in social engineering, in automating political behavior and in emotional chains, manipulating opinion and creating new spirals of silence. Culture, politics and communication face these new gulfs. In this paper we will try to analyze this vertigo, this technologization and dystopia of mediation and knowledge, the new propaganda, armed now by Artificial Intelligence, in which digital platforms and their algorithms do not yet control the processes of interaction and communication, although they clearly monitor and track us, bringing the democratic experience back to more complex levels of historical and political regression. Keywords: Internet, Politics, Post-truth, Journalism, Democracy (see PDF Portuguese)
Media, diversity and globalisation in the digital age
Cádima, F. R. (2017). “Media, Diversidade e Globalização na Era Digital”, Janus.Net. Vol. 8, nº 2 (Novembro 2017-Abril 2018), pp. 88-100. Media, diversity and globalisation in the digital age
The issues of cultural diversity and the plurality of voices in the current digital and global environment are raising new challenges beyond those already identified in the context of migration from classical media to the internet galaxy. If, with traditional media, a closing logic under “the same” prevailed, with digital media we started to believe in the “apotheosis of the dream of diversity” (Curran, 2008). But the truth is that the elimination of the old filters of information and distribution does not seem to be happening. New “gatekeeping” surrounds human intervention, with current information dissemination systems having an algorithmic basis and artificial intelligence, biasing access to news and reducing space for cultural diversity or even censuring the plurality of voices and cultural expressions. Keywords: Media, Culture, Diversity, Globalisation, Digital.
