Democracies Under Control series. Who accredits information in the (dis)information society?

The Ernest Lluch Foundation and Palau Macaya organise a series that analyses questions such as digital-capitalism surveillance, ICT control of democratic participation, (dis)information and cybersecurity under Big Data.

Who accredits information in the (dis)information society? focuses on the credence that young, and not so young, people give to 'video tutorials', Google and Wikipedia when we need to find information of interest. Even though the accreditation of knowledge is still formally linked to the academy that investigates and issues a certain piece of knowledge, with the formal accreditation of public institutions or the scientific community. Are non-profit, and much less formal, academies singing off the same hymn sheet?
