Wikipedia:WikiProject Peru/Reliable and unreliable sources

The media atmosphere in Peru, as well as its politics in general, has grown increasingly polarized in recent years. Conservatism in Peru is prevalent; the nation is recognized as one of the most conservative in Latin America[1][2] and its mainstream media follows suit.[3] Into the 2020s, larger media companies began to promote fake news in their coverage, especially about COVID-19 and politics.[3][4] Due to the recent emergence of polarized political coverage mixed with elements of fake news, measuring the reliability of Peru-related media is vital for the project in order to maintain the use of reliable sources and ensure verifiability.
