E-farsas: The Foolitzer PrizesTop 6: January 30th 2019
The theme "fake news" took centre stage in 2018 in Brazil, where it figured prominently. The elections and reports on manipulation, misuse of data, and different ways of distorting information helped to bring the issue even more out into the open. In the midst of so much controversy regarding fake news, the website E-farsas – literally “e-farces”, a site that has been operating in the country since 2002 and whose purpose is to debunk rumours circulating on the social networks – is launching The Foolitzer Prizes (an allusion to the famous The Pulitzer Prizes, which honours the best news stories in the world).
Agency: Leo Burnett Tailor Made, Brazil It is a prize to acknowledge the worst fake news in 2018 and denounce news outlets that work to disseminate misinformation. Their intent is to give the creators of fake news what they don’t want: the spotlight. In its first edition of The Foolitzer Prizes, E-farsas will curate and select the worst news stories in six different categories. They are: Politics, Sports, Health, Entertainment, Conspiracy and Gran Foolitzer.
