Drawing on research from multiple disciplines and international
case studies, this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date
understanding of online disinformation and its potential
countermeasures. Disinformation and Manipulation in Digital Media
presents a model of the disinformation process which incorporates
four cross-cutting dimensions or themes: bad actors, platforms,
audiences, and countermeasures. The dynamics of each dimension are
analysed alongside a diverse range of international case studies
drawn from different information domains including politics,
health, and society. In elucidating the interrelationship between
the four dimensions of online disinformation and their
manifestation in different international contexts, the book
demonstrates that online disinformation is a complex problem with
multiple, overlapping causes and no easy solutions. The book's
conclusion contextualises the problem of disinformation within
broader social and political trends and discusses the relevance of
radical innovations in democratic participation to counteract the
post-truth environment. This up-to-date and thorough analysis of
the disinformation landscape will be of interest to students and
scholars in the fields of journalism, communications, politics, and
policy as well as policymakers, technologists, and media
practitioners. This research received funding from the European
Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant
agreement No 825227.
