Resumo

In a context characterized by the spreading of fake news and the loss of trust in the media, fact-checkers have become an essential tool to review and check public information and statements, and to confirm the veracity of the numbers or data therein. Given that, after years of exponential growth, video has ended up being the online content most consumed by users, and that it has gained prominence as a news format, it seems appropriate to examine the role played by audiovisual formats in fact-checking processes. Thus, this research uses content analysis to study the activity on YouTube, which is the first video platform and second social network in number of monthly active users and the first video platform and second social network most used for news purposes, from an international sample of 99 fact-checking organizations, over the past decade. Their results confirm the increasing presence of fact-checking initiatives in the platform and the dissemination of audiovisual content through it, while showing significant disparities in user account management and scope. These patterns must be taken into consideration in order to ensure that fact-checked content reaches large population groups and to contribute, both indirectly and simultaneously, to the economic viability of entities that are considered critical for fighting disinformation.
