Gendered disinformation – False and misleading content has been produced and targeted at women to delegitimize their trajectory and work in prominent societal positions. It encompasses politicians, activists, and journalists. Drawing upon a decolonial feminist approach combined with digital journalism, I argue that gendered disinformation does not affect women equally. Accordingly, this phenomenon exposes layers of complexity related to race and ethnicity, and reinforces societal patterns which continuing excluding people historically left behind, such as black and indigenous women. I have investigated this topic using Critical Discourse Analysis as the methodological approach. Data journalism & fact-checking – Besides gendered disinformation, which is the project I am developing at the University of Groningen since April 2023, I am interested in data journalism and fact-checking. So far, connected with those practices, I have focused on the (performative) transparency practitioners employ – this was the theme of my Ph.D. dissertation within data journalism. I have also examined how fact-checking agencies covered the pandemic and how news outlets might contribute to increasing the noise in times of information disorder. Currently, though, I want to explore how audiences perceive data journalism and fact-checking practices. With that in mind, in-depth interviews and other qualitative research approaches have been employed.
