The intentional spread of falsehoods - and attendant attacks on
minorities, press freedoms, and the rule of law - challenge the
basic norms and values upon which institutional legitimacy and
political stability depend. How did we get here? The Disinformation
Age assembles a remarkable group of historians, political
scientists, and communication scholars to examine the historical
and political origins of the post-fact information era, focusing on
the United States but with lessons for other democracies. Bennett
and Livingston frame the book by examining decades-long efforts by
political and business interests to undermine authoritative
institutions, including parties, elections, public agencies,
science, independent journalism, and civil society groups. The
other distinguished scholars explore the historical origins and
workings of disinformation, along with policy challenges and the
role of the legacy press in improving public communication. This
title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
