Credibility is being called into question in a global way, which threatens the
authority of institutions in general, including the press, in the so-called post-truth
era;. Due to its disregard for truth, the current times have been marked by the
circulation of fake news. It is also a time known as the post-factual era. The same
networked society driven by the internet with promises of a more horizontal future
has witnessed the rise of algorithmic platformization, the disqualification of the
press, and the culture of misinformation. It is from this extremely hostile and
vulnerable environment for democratic institutions that the reflections brought in
this thesis arise. The level of misinformation is such that today there is a
proliferation of fact-checking agencies and services in various countries. In
principle, fact-checking exists to determine whether speeches are true or false.
However, these agencies and services have gained visibility and become more
influential in the journalistic environment. The shift of fact-checking to external
environments outside newsrooms or to specific spaces within news outlets carries
with it an assumption that one of the most important functions of journalism, factchecking, can be displaced. This function contributes to the construction of
credibility and, consequently, functions as the pillar of journalistic authority. Thus,
the general objective here was to understand the place occupied by fact-checking
agencies in the Brazilian journalism universe and the journalistic authority they
have claimed. A central issue is how fact-checking work influences journalistic
credibility/authority and whether there is - and to what extent – a compromise of
this authority through the market establishment of fact-checking services. To this
end, we analyzed the raw content of 677 posts about the presidential elections in
Brazil made by the Lupa and Aos Fatos agencies and the Fato ou Fake, Estadão
Verifica, and Folha Informações services in the period between August 16 and
October 30, 2022, which includes the day campaign started and the day of the
second round of voting in the elections.
