Profissionais especializados e receptores-fontes: a fotografia no contexto da ‘pós-verdade’

Digital technologies offered technical-structural support for changes in the forms of communicability and broke the monopoly of journalistic information, as an organizer of meaning in the social world. This article is not based on the assumption of the end of journalism, but highlights the of the receptors as producers of information – because of which we will call them source-receptors – and professionals in Big Data for the manipulation of information on a large scale and in a specialized way. From this scenario, the objective is to investigate photographic manipulation in the treatment of information for the purpose of instigating reflection and the challenges of the multiplicity of views in a context where the truth has been detaching itself from its Cartesian position of the modern age and revealing its combinations, contradictions, affections amd imagination and showing itself as a political instrument to reinforce personal beliefs.
