| + | This article takes a Peircean semiotic perspective to explore two key aspects: the algorithms used by Facebook to enhance audience engagement and their influence on the dissemination of fake news in the realm of transmedia journalism, and how our individual methods of fixing beliefs contribute to this process. Employing a qualitative study grounded in Peircean semiotics, the analysis focuses on critical concepts such as truth, reality, representation, fixation of beliefs, and collateral experiences. This approach seeks to show the intricate relationship between algorithms, fake news, and virality journalism. The research outcomes display the shared responsibility in the proliferation of fake news, attributing accountability not only to social media networks like Facebook but also to audiences whose behaviors and beliefs significantly contribute to shaping and reinforcing the algorithms at play. | ||
