Seven out of ten Spaniards choose free-to-air television to get their daily information, and even more so if something extraordinary happens, according to a barometer from the Union of Open Commercial Televisions. From them, 50% do it to find out about its veracitycredibility and trust.

This means of communication is positioned as a priority even for the youngest. And when we want truthful and verified news, television reigns over other media such as the press, radio or social networks. Specifically, the social networks and video platforms occupy the last positions in terms of truthful and verified news.
