The search for truth in the age of overinformation

Indeed, we live in a hyper-connected and digitized world where the search for truth has become a monumental challenge. Over-information, driven by the proliferation of digital media and social networks, constantly bombards us with data, opinions and news. However, in the midst of this avalanche of information, a crucial question arises: how can we discern the true from the false? The media compete fiercely for users' attention. In this quest, they often resort to sensationalist or exaggerated headlines to attract clicks. This strategy can distort reality and polarize the audience by emphasizing the most conflicting or extreme aspects of a story. Thus, the search for truth becomes a complex labyrinth that must be navigated with caution.
