Social media is ubiquitous. From Facebook and Twitter to YouTube,
the blogosphere, and Massively Multi-Player Online Role-Playing
Games, people have plugged into numerous online venues for social,
intellectual, and leisure activities. The pervasiveness of social
media calls for ethical reflection, and one of the most pertinent
values at stake is that of truth. Current figures estimate there
are more than 1 billion social media users worldwide with the
ability to connect with people who share similar interests, to
present themselves as experts on anything and everything no matter
their qualifications, and to contribute the types of factual
information formerly limited to professional communication outlets
such as news agencies. It's this wide-ranging definition of truth
that demands evaluation of the myriad ways social media affect
society. This volume does just that by collecting insights from
leading experts in the communication and philosophy disciplines as
they examine a variety of issues related to the value of truth in
the realm of social media.
