There has been a noticeable shift in the way the news is accessed
and consumed, and most importantly, the rise of fake news has
become a common occurrence in the media. With news becoming more
accessible as technology advances, fake news can spread rapidly and
successfully through social media, television, websites, and other
online sources, as well as through the traditional types of
newscasting. The spread of misinformation when left unchecked can
turn fiction into fact and result in a mass misconception of the
truth that shapes opinions, creates false narratives, and impacts
multiple facets of society in potentially detrimental ways. With
the rise of fake news comes the need for research on the ways to
alleviate the effects and prevent the spread of misinformation.
These tools, technologies, and theories for identifying and
mitigating the effects of fake news are a current research topic
that is essential for maintaining the integrity of the media and
providing those who consume it with accurate, fact-based
information. The Research Anthology on Fake News, Political
Warfare, and Combatting the Spread of Misinformation contains
hand-selected, previously published research that informs its
audience with an advanced understanding of fake news, how it
spreads, its negative effects, and the current solutions being
investigated. The chapters within also contain a focus on the use
of alternative facts for pushing political agendas and as a way of
conducting political warfare. While highlighting topics such as the
basics of fake news, media literacy, the implications of
misinformation in political warfare, detection methods, and both
technological and human automated solutions, this book is ideally
intended for practitioners, stakeholders, researchers,
academicians, and students interested in the current surge of fake
news, the means of reducing its effects, and how to improve the
future outlook.
