Defining an operational definition of disinformation through the fact- checking: toward a new epistemocratic order?

Résumé

The operational definition of disinformation through fact-checking is an info-communication problem that also raises epistemological questions that, if not addressed, lead to the temptation of “epistemocracy”. In this study, the philosophical approach makes it possible to deconstruct and question concepts and references. It is associated with an approach based on media studies that pays attention to communication phenomena in their socio-political stakes. For this presentation, we will only consider the falsehood of information according to the classification established by Wardle and Derakhshan to describe "information disorder" (Wardle et Derakhshan 2017). As a result, we will alternately use the terms "disinformation" or "misinformation" to refer to these false pieces of information without assuming whether they are intentional or not. Fact-checking is an antidote to misinformation. It sorts, gives evidence, but is this enough to convince the target audience? Fact-checking cures symptoms but does it not to address the causes of disinformation and misinformation?
