The advent of information technology has brought forth concerns regarding the widespread dissemination of false, unverified, and misleading information. As one of the most significant public health crises in modern history, the COVID-19 pandemic has provided a unique setting for post-truth research. In this era, individuals are less inclined to seek out objective facts and instead retreat into echo chambers, where they find solace among those who share their beliefs. This book aims to (1) systematically conceptualize post-truth and examine its defining characteristics and driving forces, (2) investigate the intricate effects of information sources and news consumption behaviors and strategies on COVID-19 misperceptions and knowledge, (3) explore the role of social media in shaping COVID-19-related misperceptions and knowledge, and (4) emphasize the importance of news media literacy in navigating the post-truth era.
This book will be of immense value to students and scholars specializing in media and film studies, communication studies, and comparative studies. It will also serve as a valuable resource for medical and media professionals, including doctors, nurses, and journalists. By delving into these critical aspects, the book aims to shed light on the challenges posed by the post-truth landscape and provide insights into strategies for navigating it effectively.
