This book provides a comprehensive and impartial overview of the
state of American journalism and news-gathering in the 21st
century, with a special focus on the rise—and meaning—of "fake
news." A part of ABC-CLIO's Examining the Facts series, which uses
evidence-based documentation to examine the veracity of claims and
beliefs about high-profile issues in American culture and politics,
this volume examines beliefs, claims, and myths about American
journalism and news media. It offers a comprehensive overview of
the field of American journalism, including contemporary issues and
historical foundations, and places modern problems such as "fake
news" and misinformation in the context of larger technological and
economic forces. The book illustrates the strengths and weaknesses
of journalistic practices so readers can feel empowered to navigate
the complex information environment in which we live and to
understand the level to which various news sources can (or can't)
be trusted to provide accurate and timely coverage of issues and
events of import to the public and the nation. These skills and
knowledge structures are necessary for any citizen who wishes to be
an informed participant in a self-governing democratic society.
