- Abstract
The growing political polarization context in Brazil, coupled to fake news intense circulation during presidential elections of 2018, motivates this exploratory study, aims to explore the trust that public attributes to rumors and corrections provided by fact-checking agencies, taking as reference the assault against the then-candidate of PSL, Jair Bolsonaro, which occurred on September 6, 2018, during a campaign visit to Juiz de Fora (MG). The research involved the application of an online survey that received 108 contributions from college students. The data collected were discriminated by party inclination of participants in the last election, and the results corroborate arguments presents in previous studies who proposes that: a) citizens are informed about the events also from rumors; b) political preferences influence both the reliability or skepticism about fake news; c) the partisanship of the respondents also moderates the acceptance of fact-checkers' corrections.
