Summary
Once on the fringe, fake news has become mainstream. From bogus social media accounts to Russian troll factories, phony news muddies the social and political discourse, and is a threat to our democracy. This book defines fake news and reveals the people behind the spread of disinformation. It directly correlates with state journalism standards about developing media literacy and discusses the future of fake news and the alarming technologies used to make it
