Drawing on extensive research from various disciplines and international case studies, this comprehensive book offers a thorough and up-to-date understanding of online disinformation and its potential countermeasures.
Disinformation and Manipulation in Digital Media presents a comprehensive model of the disinformation process, incorporating four cross-cutting dimensions or themes: bad actors, platforms, audiences, and countermeasures. The dynamics of each dimension are analyzed alongside a diverse range of international case studies drawn from different information domains, including politics, health, and society. By elucidating the interrelationships between these four dimensions and their manifestations in various international contexts, the book demonstrates that online disinformation is a complex problem with multiple, overlapping causes and no easy solutions.
The conclusion of the book contextualizes the problem of disinformation within broader social and political trends and discusses the relevance of radical innovations in democratic participation to counteract the post-truth environment. This up-to-date and thorough analysis of the disinformation landscape will be of interest to students, scholars, policymakers, technologists, and media practitioners alike.
