Fake News: Falsehood, fabrication and fantasy in journalism
examines the causes and consequences of the 'fake news' phenomenon
now sweeping the world's media and political debates. Drawing on
three decades of research and writing on journalism and news media,
the author engages with the fake news phenomenon in accessible,
insightful language designed to bring clarity and context to a
complex and fast-moving debate. The author presents fake news not
as a cultural issue in isolation but rather as arising from, and
contributing to, significant political and social trends in
twenty-first century societies. Chapters identify the factors which
have laid the groundwork for fake news' explosive appearance at
this moment in our globalised public sphere. These include the rise
of relativism and the crisis of objectivity, the role of digital
media platforms in the production and consumption of news, and the
growing drive to produce online content which attracts users and
generates revenue.
