Drawing on examples and evidence from around the world this book aims to make a timely intervention to the debate about the concept of fake news. Its underlying argument will have three objectives. First to offer more precise definitions for a term that is often loosely used. Second to offer a less technologically determinist view of fake news. New social media platforms such as Facebook and Whats App are clearly an important part of the story but they exist in wider social political and institutional settings. Third to situate the idea of fake news (and our concern about it) in broader arguments about an ongoing crisis and loss of confidence in liberal democratic institutions. Only with this perspective it will be argued can we possibly address the question of what we should do about fake news.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: What Do We Know And What Should We Do About Fake News?\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Anstead Nick\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Sage Publications Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781529717884\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 104 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/24\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: What Do We Know and What Should We Do About:\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Media Studies","brand":"Anstead Nick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49618476925233,"sku":"IN-G-9781529717884","price":19.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781529717884.jpg?v=1724691460","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781529717884-what-do-we-know-and-what-should-we-do-about-fake-news","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
