Abstract

The paper presents the results of a systematic literature review about the most cited authors in Brazilian publications regarding misinformation in the context of the covid-19 pandemic, from the point of view of journalism studies. For this, a search and cataloging of theses, dissertations and articles in the area of Communication between 2020 and 2022 was carried out. From the corpus analysis, it was noticed that authors such as Wardle (2017); Tandoc, Lim and Ling (2018); and Alcott and Gentzkow (2017) concentrate most of the citations. The themes addressed by the analyzed works point to a deepening of the debates about the relationship between the credibility of journalism and the reality it intends to report. The analysis of the keywords also highlighted an interest of Brazilian researchers in studying misinformation under the light of news-values, journalistic genres, and concepts of psychology.
