Abstract
This presentation will focus on the interest of the notion of informational vulnerability in the context of research on misinformation and disinformation. The discussion of the concept and the underlying research approach will be supported by the presentation of the results of a multi-wave quantitative survey about, anxiety, news consumption and trust in information sources conducted during the first year of the Covid-19 crisis in French-speaking Belgium, as well as by the presentation of the preliminary results of a qualitative survey conducted among people with an information vulnerability profile.
