Las elecciones andaluzas de 2018. El uso de bots como herramienta de análisis de la agenda informativa electoral

Description

This research aims to analyze the use of Twitter by different news and political sources during the Andalusian election campaign of 2018. In order to do so, a specific bot (unfaking_ es) was created. The bot tweeted -with a series of preconditions- information related to the campaign from selected sources. Four informative actors were distinguished: political parties, candidates, media -including factcheckers- and official sources. Our work concludes that two different moments can be distinguished in the electoral campaign, which accelerate the verification of the facts and the speeches: the electoral debates and the electoral day.

Se diferencian dos momentos en la campaña electoral que aceleran la verificación de los hechos y los discursos, los debates electorales y la jornada electoral.
