This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of political science, law, political philosophy, journalism, media studies, and computer science, since it provides a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis of post-truth politics. ![]() Part III moves from case studies in Western and Central Europe to reflect on the methodological difficulty of investigating disinformation, as well as tackling the very delicate question of detection, combat, and prevention of fake news. Part II considers the phenomena of disinformation, fake news, and post-truth politics in the context of Russia, which emerges as a laboratory where the phases of creation and diffusion of fake news can be broken down and analysed consequently, Part II also reflects on the ways to counteract disinformation and fake news. ![]() The book is then divided into three parts: Part I helps to contextualise the phenomena investigated, offering definitions and discussing key concepts as well as aspects linked to the manipulation of information systems, especially considering its reverberation on democracy. In the Introduction, the editors offer some orientating definitions of post-truth politics, building a theoretical framework where various different aspects of fake news can be understood. The volume sheds light on some topical questions connected to fake news, thereby contributing to a fuller understanding of its impact on democracy. The authors analyse and interpret how the use of technology and social media as well as the emergence of new political narratives has been progressively changing the information landscape, undermining some of the pillars of democracy. Critical media literacy, we argue here, may well be the only thing between a free people and their freedom.ĭemocracy and Fake News by Serena Giusti (Editor) Elisa Piras (Editor) This book explores the challenges that disinformation, fake news, and post-truth politics pose to democracy from a multidisciplinary perspective. But there are no simple answers or quick fixes. The essays collected here are confrontations of post-truth, fake news, mainstream media, and traditional approaches to formal schooling. While media literacy and critical media literacy are ideas with long histories in formal education, including K-12 students and higher education, the need for increased attention to these issues has never reached a flash point like the present. ![]() Thomas (Editor) Winner 2019 Divergent Award for Excellence in 21st Century Literacies Research This edited collection is not a response to the 2016 United States Presidential Election so much as it is a response to the issues highlighted through that single event and since when incredibly smart, sophisticated, and intelligent members of our society were confused by misinformation campaigns. ![]() Critical Media Literacy and Fake News in Post-Truth America by Christian Z. ![]()
