The aim of this research was to analyse how these figures promote experimental communication uses on channels far removed from political activity. We focused on Twitch, a successful platform for promoting entertainment and learning in the video games field. To do so, we conducted a significant case study, that of Íñ igo Errejón, a Spanish male Member of Parliament, in 2021 through 18 live streamings that lasted 1223 min. We specifically described the conception and use of Twitch, measured the audience's impact, analysed the accountability exercise through this platform and evaluated the deliberative quality of conversation with users. To conclude, we identified three novel contributions of Twitch to digital political communication: self-monitoring, insofar as the elected politician himself proactively exercises accountability to the public without a third party intervening; the activation of mediated authenticity as a key value in the political actor's public construction; promoting connective democracy, which would help those sectors not used to employing political information to take an interest in it by detecting attention being paid to their needs and questions.

IAMCR 2019 Pre-conference. Disinformation and political processes: media strategies and audience attitudes, 2019
With the evolution of the media landscape brought about by the digital disruption (Nelson; Harsh,... more With the evolution of the media landscape brought about by the digital disruption (Nelson; Harsh, 2018; Haigh; Kozak, 2017), and above all, with the increase of feminist consciousness since 2018, there has been detected a growth in content propagating false or manipulative information (Tandoc; Lim; Ling, 2017) about women. Whether based on stereotypes, or riding a wave of anti-feminist backlash, this misinformation has an adverse effect on the equal rights and opportunities of women.
Coinciding with the celebration of International Women's Day, on March 7 the Spanish fact-checking platform Maldita.es launched a section dedicated to disinformation around this social movement that fights for gender equality. Among the reasons, they explain that in the last months almost a third of the requests of the citizenship have to do with gender issues. For that reason, they created Maldito Feminismo, an independent journalistic initiative coordinated by Clara Jiménez Cruz and Adela Vived in which a dozen collaborators work.
The objective of this paper is to analyze the work methodology and the results of this digital platform, which uses as channels of contact with the critical community Twitter, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and a mobile application. In this sense, we will study the number of complaints, discrediting issues, the type of false information (data, images), the origin of the fake news and the media that have published them, the data techniques used for verification, the counter-information generated by this new civil platform and, finally, its repercussion in the mass media.
To carry out this study, a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the speech used in the blog of the platform and in its social networks (Twitter and Facebook) will be carried out. In addition, data from the work system itself will be obtained through in-depth interviews with its heads: Adela Vived and Jiménez Cruz, who is also part of the European project #FemFacts and is one of the 39 specialists of the High Level Group on fake news and online disinformation that advises the European Commission. In addition, the collaborating team will be also interviewed in this section. In so doing, this paper will conclusion if this civil initiative is able to reveal and debunk the misinformation of this trend and if this action can be extrapolated to other countries or professional collectives.
