Takeaway:

Media competition is a double-edged sword.

⚖️ The right balance sustains fact-checking and strengthens democracy.
September 25, 2025 at 9:07 AM
Implications:

Verified news boosts political accountability.

The internet & 24h news cycle? Surprisingly, not always bad — faster cycles can help sustain fact-checking.

Journalism faces a classic tension:
⚡ Speed vs. ✅ Accuracy.

Main result:
📰 Fact-checking survives only with intermediate competition.

Too little → readers are satisfied with rumors.

Too much → outlets rush to break news first.

🚨 Thrilled to see our paper out in the Journal of Politics!
We study how media competition shapes fact-checking — and the consequences for political accountability.

Happy and grateful to receive a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. I will do my best to make this collective investment worthy.

Against far-right populism, simply calling them "fascists" is not enough. We must consider that:

The effect of their leadership depends more on their lack of credibility when it comes to governing.

Their failures to deliver punish them more.

Jean-Marie Le Pen has left this world. If there’s another, he will finally be a migrant—just like those he spent his life hating.

La población que vive en Palestina tenía en 2022 una esperanza de vida media de 76,7 años. En 2023 bajó a 65,2. Una caída de ¡11 años y medio! en solo doce meses. Y los datos de 2024 serán aún más terribles.

En España cayó de 83,5 a 82,2 por la pandemia pero hoy ya está en 83,7.

Qué regiones son más vulnerables a los estragos del cambio climático?. En rojo oscuro, los que más, nosotros.
Alemania, Dinamarca, Noruega, Suecia... no sólo no se verán afectados, sino que tendrán cada vez mejores cosechas.

Deberíamos ser los primeros en levantar la voz, pero... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hay quien afirma que dejar Twitter por Bluesky es un error, porque debemos quedarnos para ofrecer un contrapunto necesario. Claro, los hechos demuestran que nuestra presencia ha sido una herramienta infalible para frenar la propagación de odio y desinformación en esa red.

Hard to find a better example to teach tipping points and network externalities than what is going on with Bluesky.
