This volume gathers leading scholars in the fields of journalism and communication studies, philosophy, and the social sciences to examine critical questions of how we should understand journalism's changing landscape as it relates to fundamental questions about the role of truth and information in society. Identifying and communicating truth is an age-old concern, greatly exacerbated and amplified by the onslaught of social media. Along with confronting the fake news phenomenon, chapter authors address the age-old issue of truth and credibility in journalism as it operates in politics, and how technology may be complicating that relationship. The book is designed as a supplemental text for journalism and related courses, a worthwhile read for scholars in the field, and an insightful guide for practicing journalists.
