In this dizzying post-truth, post-fact, fake news era, the
onslaught and speed of potentially untrue, incorrect, or fabricated
information (some crafted and weaponized, some carelessly shared)
can cause a loss of our intellectual bearings. If we fail to have a
common truthful basis for discussions of opinion and policy, the
integrity of our democracy is at risk. This up-to-date anthology is
designed to provide a survey of technological, ethical, and legal
issues raised by falsehoods, particularly social media
misinformation. The volume explores visual and data dissemination,
business practices, international perspectives, and case studies.
With misinformation and misleading information being propagated
using a variety of media such as memes, data, charts, photos,
tweets, posts, and articles, an understanding of the theory,
mechanisms, and changing communication landscape is essential to
move in the right direction with academic, industry, and government
initiatives to inoculate ourselves from the dangers of fake news.
The book takes an international and multidisciplinary approach with
contributions from media studies, journalism, computer science, the
law, and communication, making it distinct among books on fake
news. This book is essential for graduate or undergraduate students
in courses dealing with fake news and communication studies.
Relevant courses include media studies, journalism, public
relations, media ethics, media law, social media, First Amendment
law, philosophy, and political science.
