Measuring the Impact of Misinformation, Disinformation, and Propaganda in Latin America

In July 2020, Global Americans—in collaboration with four regional partner organizations: CADAL (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Medianálisis (Caracas, Venezuela), Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (Monterrey, Mexico), and Universidad del Rosario (Bogotá, Colombia)—launched a research project dedicated to understanding the dissemination of disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda in Latin America and the Caribbean. Over the past 16 months, these four teams engaged in extensive qualitative and quantitative research and social media monitoring in order to gain insights into the misinformation and disinformation landscapes in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela.
