Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
A presente dissertação resulta numa análise e investigação entre desinformação e
polarização nas redes sociais no âmbito dos incêndios florestais em Portugal. Este estudo
procura compreender a crescente tendência de partilha de notícias falsas nas redes sociais.
Procede-se a uma reflexão com o objetivo de relacionar comportamentos e medidas eficazes
que visam combater a disseminação de conteúdos de notícias falsas nos meios de comunicação.
Desta forma, recorreu-se aos conhecimentos académicos adquiridos e a consultas bibliográficas
relativas ao tema.
Tem ainda como objetivo investigar a forma como os diversos meios de comunicação lidam com
a desinformação e com as notícias falsas relacionadas aos incêndios florestais em Portugal, bem
como os mecanismos de regulação que são aplicados.
Com o crescimento das plataformas digitais como principal meio de informação, a propagação
de notícias falsas ou distorcidas tem vindo a aumentar e a influenciar significativamente a
perceção pública, especialmente em contextos de crise ambiental. Para isso, é fundamental
compreender de que forma a desinformação disseminada nas redes sociais contribui para a
polarização das opiniões sobre a gestão dos incêndios em Portugal.
O estudo identifica padrões de desinformação, fontes principais e discursos polarizadores que
avaliam o impacto na opinião pública e na confiança nas instituições.
