The Construction of Truth in Contemporary Media Narratives about Risk offers a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding how media audiences navigate everyday risk in a post-truth era. By examining media risk narratives and exploring the concept of truth, experiential knowledge, and authority, the book provides valuable insights into how we make decisions in a world that appears increasingly risky and uncertain.
Using the concept of parrhesia, the book demonstrates how we trust different types of knowledge in a changing media environment. It explores how we choose between expert and non-expert information when faced with challenging situations, highlighting the importance of critical thinking and media literacy.
The book also examines how news media formats have historically engaged audiences through risk narratives and explores how experiential knowledge has become increasingly valuable for individuals navigating an uncertain world. It considers the precarious position of expert knowledge and how contemporary truth-games play out between experts and non-experts, extending into the realm of online and social media.
This book is of interest to researchers and educators in the fields of criminology, sociology, media and cultural studies, as well as professionals in journalism and politics. It offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of truth construction in contemporary media narratives and the challenges faced by audiences in navigating a risk-laden world.
