Post-Truth and Fake News: Reflections on the Narrative War
Contempt for traditional journalism, denial of scientific evidence, dissemination of hate – in times of post-truth and fake news, the dream of unmediated communication that the internet and social media seemed to announce became a reality both worrisome and dangerous, capable of threatening the existence of democracy as we know it. Understanding the workings of elements such as bots, the fake news industry and algorithms is the first step to contain the avalanche of obscurantism and manipulation attacking Brazil and the world.
Authors: Mariana Barbosa, Tatiana Roque and Fernanda Bruno, Francisco Brito Cruz, Eugênio Bucci, Dora Kaufman, Gilberto Scofield Jr., Alexandre Sayad, Ronaldo Porto Machado Jr., Joel Pinheiro, Peter Warren Singer, Patricia Campos Mello.
