Misreported information disseminated by the media can respond to two behaviours: ‘misinformation’, the inadvertent dissemination of false information, and ‘disinformation’, the creation and dissemination of false information. Regarding feminism, this work aims to analy-se whether the media have wrongly spread the events that are the founding moments of the political movement: the creation of the word ‘feminism’, the origin of 8th March, and the counting of the waves as in the USA. I will refer to direct sources and documentation centres, check the account of the events and compare them with the news that have been reported by the Basque media (in Basque, French, and Spanish). The main conclusion of this research is that the Basque media have an obvious difficulty in verifying the information originated in the USA. At the same time, the Basque me-dia have not addressed the characteristics of Basque feminism, only in one case: to link the origin of the 8th March to the 1889 strike of female cigar makers in Bilbao. This baseless data, however, has made it clear that the intention of the Spanish-language media was not to verify information, but to significantly spread the unusual news.
Hedabideek zabaltzen duten informazio okerrak bi jokabideri erantzun diezaieke: misinformation, informazio faltsua oharkabean zabaltzeari, eta disinformation, informazio faltsua sortu eta zabaltzeari. Feminismoari dagokiola, hedabideek mugimendu politikoaren une fundatzaileak diren gertakariak oker zabaldu dituzten ala ez aztertzea du helburu lan honek: «feminismo» berbaren sorrera, Martxoaren 8aren jatorria eta AEBko olatuen kontaketa. Horretarako, iturri zuzenetara eta dokumentazio-zentroetara joz, gertakarien kontaketa egiaztatu eta Euskal Herriko hedabideek (euskaraz, frantsesez eta gaztelaniaz) eman dituzten albisteekin alderatuko ditut.
Ikerketa-lan honen ondorio nagusia da euskal hedabideek zailtasun nabaria daukatela AEBn sortutako informazioak egiaztatzeko. Aldi berean, hedabideek ez diete euskal feminismoaren ezaugarriei heldu, kasu bakarrean soilik: Martxoaren 8aren jatorria 1889ko Bilboko emakume puru-egileen grebarekin lotzeko. Oinarririk gabeko datu horrek, baina, argi utzi du gaztelaniazko hedabideen intentzionalitatea ez dela izan informazioa egiaztatzea, albiste deigarria nabarmen zabaltzea baizik.
