• CIS.Tezanos manufactures a CIS to gather support for Sánchez
  • Coronavirus. 24 hours with an emergency patrol

Despite having less exposure in the media, Spaniards trust their scientists much more than their politicians during the coronavirus crisis. The information given by Health specialists to citizens has a very large support (84%) , while this faith collapses if the news transmitters are the Government (46%) or the political class in general (31%) .

This data is included in the report Navigate the infodemic , carried out by the Reuters Institute and the University of Oxford , with the aim of documenting how public access to news about the coronavirus has been, as well as a testament to our perception of hoaxes circulating from the pandemic .

The study has been carried out in addition to Spain in Argentina, Germany, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The credibility of the ruling class suffers in many of these countries. Sánchez himself, whose management has also been gathered today by the Tezanos CIS, generates the same mistrust in his efforts to control the epidemic as Trump in the United States (45%).

Half of Spaniards admit to having encountered hoaxes on WhatsApp in the last week

Another of his conclusions from this research carried out in these times of infodemia, in which false information is spread at the same rate as the coronavirus, is that almost half of the Spaniards acknowledge having detected hoaxes in the WhatsApp they receive . Very relevant factor if we take into account that instant messaging services and social networks are a breeding ground for the spread of fake news and used as information tools by a large number of citizens.

As for the evaluation of the work of the media, this, although relevant, is less valued in Spain than in other countries. The Spaniards who have considered them important in the knowledge of the pandemic barely exceed half, although this percentage increases in relation to the information on the response measures (64%). One in three considers that they have exaggerated in relation to this health crisis.
