Abstract

This article is the result of an investigation carried out in the Faculty of Communication at the Francisco de Vitoria University in Madrid among Students of Journalism´s Degree and Videogame´s Degree. The Students were exposed to a feature in two formats: video and interactive. Young people value the contributions of the new formats, but there are certain difficulties to understand them as solid reliable sources of information. For that it is necessary to train actions to protect the truth in the informative story.
