The authors analyse and interpret how the use of technology and social media as well as the emergence of new political narratives has been progressively changing the information landscape, undermining some of the pillars of democracy. The volume sheds light on some topical questions connected to fake news, thereby contributing to a fuller understanding of its impact on democracy. In the Introduction, the editors offer some orientating definitions of post-truth politics, building a theoretical framework where various different aspects of fake news can be understood. The book is then divided into three parts: Part I helps to contextualise the phenomena investigated, offering definitions and discussing key concepts as well as aspects linked to the manipulation of information systems, especially considering its reverberation on democracy. Part II considers the phenomena of disinformation, fake news and post-truth politics in the context of Russia, which emerges as a laboratory where the phases of creation and diffusion of fake news can be broken down and analysed; consequently, Part II also reflects on the ways to counteract disinformation and fake news. Part III moves from case studies in Western and Central Europe to reflect on the methodological difficulty of investigating disinformation, as well as tackling the very delicate question of detection, combat and prevention of fake news. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of political science, law, political philosophy, journalism, media studies, and computer science, since it provides a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis of post-truth politics"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aInformation society$xPolitical aspects 606 $aFake news$xPolitical aspects 606 $aMass media and public opinion 606 $aInformation society$xPolitical aspects$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aFake news$xPolitical aspects$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aInformation society$xPolitical aspects$zEurope 606 $aMass media and public opinion$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aFake news$xPolitical aspects$zEurope 606 $aMass media and public opinion$zEurope 615 0$aInformation society$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aFake news$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aMass media and public opinion. 615 0$aInformation society$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aFake news$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aInformation society$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMass media and public opinion 615 0$aFake news$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMass media and public opinion 702 $aGiusti$b Serena 702 $aPiras$b Elisa 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bNZ-WeVUL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476759603321 996 $aDemocracy and fake news$91911322 997 $aUNINA
