Attention Economics -- Chapter 2. The News Market -- Chapter 3. Attention Speculation and Political Bubbles -- Chapter 4. Alternative Facts, Misinformation, and Fake News -- Chapter 5. Fact Resistance, Populism, and Conspiracy Theory -- Chapter 6. The Post-Factual Democracy.This open access book looks at how a democracy can devolve into a post-factual state. The media is being flooded by populist narratives, fake news, conspiracy theories and make-believe. Misinformation is turning into a challenge for all of us, whether politicians, journalists, or citizens. In the age of information, attention is a prime asset and may be converted into money, power, and influence – sometimes at the cost of facts. The point is to obtain exposure on the air and in print media, and to generate traffic on social media platforms. With information in abundance and attention scarce, the competition is ever fiercer with truth all too often becoming the first victim. Reality Lost: Markets of Attention, Misinformation and Manipulation is an analysis by philosophers Vincent F. Hendricks and Mads Vestergaard of the nuts and bolts of the information market, the attention economy and media eco-system which may pave way to postfactual democracy. Here misleading narratives become the basis for political opinion formation, debate, and legislation. To curb this development and the threat it poses to democratic deliberation, political self-determination and freedom, it is necessary that we first grasp the mechanisms and structural conditions that cause it. .Internet marketingDigital mediaPhilosophyBehavioral economicsOnline Marketing/Social Mediahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/513010Digital/New Mediahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412040Philosophy of Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34050Behavioral/Experimental Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W54000MisinformationAttention EconomicsDonald TrumpSocial MediaPopulismInformation AgeDigital AuthorityInformationConspiracy TheoryDemocracyPoliticsPhilosophyDigitial SlaveryInternet marketing.Digital media.Philosophy.Behavioral economics.Online Marketing/Social Media.Digital/New Media.Philosophy of Technology.Behavioral/Experimental Economics.658.872Hendricks Vincent Fauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut66497Vestergaard Madsauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910293139003321Reality Lost2084850UNINA
