In this episode, we bring you a summary of today's most relevant news. Okay, let's get off with the biggest news of the week, where a Colombian girl claimed to have been part of the graphic design team for the movie The Boy and the Hero. Her name is Geraldine Fernández. That's right, Juan. Geraldine Fernández alleged to have illustrated over 25,000 frames for the recent film, which won the 2024 Golden Globe to Best Animated Film. Yes, she even delivered a lecture at university detailing her supposed process, profiling from this falsehood. Indeed, Juan, but how do you think this situation could be rectified? I believe a viable solution would be for Geraldine Fernández to publicly retract her claim and donate all profits gained from her deception to charity. Juan, what are your thoughts, José? I think the role of the program lies in the misery of the social media and consequently the solution and supplies within it. People need to use social media responsibly. Geraldine could post on her social media platforms, clarifying that she did not work on the film. And the truth would spread from her. Yes, that would be a good approach. However, I think it's essential to address the broader issue of misinformation in the media before solely focusing on individual cases like this one. Absolutely. Raising awareness about the dangers of misinformation is crucial in today's digital age. Indeed, it's imperative that we all take responsibility for the information we consume and share.
