| Summary, etc |
"Is fake news merely news with which one disagrees? Donald Trump's use of the term notwithstanding, the editors of this collection argue that fake news is a real problem and is on the rise thanks to converging political, economic, social, and technological factors. These include practices in journalism, technological disruptions of news creation and consumption, and the impact of regulatory debates and policy decisions. This collection provides a truly interdisciplinary exploration of fake news in all of its iterations and complexities within the U.S. Too often discussions of fake news take place in isolated spheres at conferences devoted specifically to media literacy, computer science, or journalism. Considerations of the ways in which these areas interact, overlap, and contradict each other we will be useful for thinking through the past influences, present challenges, and future solutions to different kinds of mis/disinformation"-- |
| Expansion of summary note |
New perspectives on the misinformation ecosystem that is the production and circulation of fake news. What is fake news? Is it an item on Breitbart, an article in The Onion, an outright falsehood disseminated via Russian bot, or a catchphrase used by a politician to discredit a story he doesn't like? This book examines the real fake news- the constant flow of purposefully crafted, sensational, emotionally charged, misleading or totally fabricated information that mimics the form of mainstream news. Rather than viewing fake news through a single lens, the book maps the various kinds of misinformation through several different disciplinary perspectives, taking into account the overlapping contexts of politics, technology, and journalism.<br/>The contributors consider topics including fake news as "disorganized" propaganda; folkloric falsehood in the "Pizzagate" conspiracy; native advertising as counterfeit news; the limitations of regulatory reform and technological solutionism; Reddit's enabling of fake news; the psychological mechanisms by which people make sense of information; and the evolution of fake news in America. A section on media hoaxes and satire features an oral history of and an interview with prankster-activists the Yes Men, famous for parodies that reveal hidden truths. Finally, contributors consider possible solutions to the complex problem of fake news-ways to mitigate its spread, to teach students to find factually accurate information, and to go beyond fact-checking. |
