Resumo(s)
The rise of political disinformation poses a substantial threat to demo-cratic societies, with the potential to erode well-informed decision-making and hinder effective policy formulation. While existingresearch typically concentrates on experimental exposures to fact-checking, a significant research gap remains regarding how the inte-gration of fact-checking into daily news consumption routines con-tributes to self-perceived levels of disinformation identification. Thisstudy addresses this gap by examining the role of various mediaconsumption platforms in facilitating fact-checking practices andtheir potential to mitigate misperceptions. Findings from a two-wavepanel survey in Spain (N = 570) suggest that news consumption alonedoes not directly improve self-perceived levels of disinformation iden-tification. Instead, it indirectly facilitates recognition by encouragingthe adoption of fact-checking practices. The study concludes thatcitizens’ self-perceived ability to identify disinformation is enhancedwhen news consumption across platforms is complemented by fact-checking practices.
