The new edition of Post-Truth, Fake News, and Democracy offers a comprehensive and critical exploration of contemporary discourses surrounding truth, misinformation, and democracy, while also providing a mapping of cutting-edge scholarship. Through in-depth analyses of news articles, commentaries, academic publications, policy briefs, and political speeches, the book engages with the underlying normative ideas that shape the global response to fake news. By doing so, it makes an innovative and critical contribution to contemporary debates on democracy, post-truth, and politics.

Three new chapters have been added to this edition: Chapter 2 provides an overview of the scholarly field of research into fake news, Chapter 5 examines the interconnectedness of fake news and (mis)information with contemporary crisis events, and Chapter 9 presents democratic alternatives to post-truth solutionism. A new foreword by Professor Sarah Banet-Weiser has been included, and the examples and studies have been fully updated to reflect contemporary events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Capitol attack, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The book also includes extended discussions on the causes of democratic decline, currently proposed solutions to fake news, and democratic alternatives to our current predicament. Post-Truth, Fake News, and Democracy remains committed to understanding and engaging with the current state and future of democracy, making it an interesting, informative, and well-documented read for anyone interested in these critical topics.
