Abstract
Although the spread of fake news and disinformation has historically been constant, current technology has amplified their reach and effects. Existing research has focused on the concept of disinformation, the analysis of technological and social factors that facilitate its proliferation, and the study of its effects at both social and individual levels. This study proposes future research directions to address emerging challenges in the field, focusing on its ongoing adaptation and the most effective strategies for its mitigation in the digital age. Using the Delphi method (N=16), this study reveals four general dimensions: digital environment and social media, which address the complexity of disinformation on platforms and networks; information quality and truthfulness, centered on the importance of informational integrity and ethical journalistic practices; audience competence and attention, which examine the challenge of capturing and maintaining public attention in a media-saturated environment; and polarization and hate speech, highlighting the need to combat the negative social consequences of disinformation.
