As the reliance on mobile devices for news seeking and information sharing continues to grow, the spread of online falsehoods on MIMS is a problem that confounds academics, practitioners, and policymakers. Recent developments in countries such as Brazil and India demonstrate how MIMS facilitate the spread of online falsehoods. Given that a number of non-academic and non-governmental institutions in the region are doing important work in countering the influence of online falsehoods, this book also includes contributions by practitioners who design initiatives and programmes in this area. The book is a timely contribution in addressing the distinct issues of online falsehoods in a large, technophilic region such as Asia, grappling with problems of online falsehoods on so many fronts, including ideological extremism, political opportunism, cyberscams, political activism, digitalised learning, geopolitical tensions, and more. Relevant to researchers and policymakers, this book provides a timely and critical analysis of both research and practice conducted in the Asian context by scholars hailing from a range of disciplines such media studies, political communication, cultural studies, and cognitive science. 410 0$aMobile Communication in Asia: Local Insights, Global Implications,$x2468-2411 606 $aDigital media 606 $aMass media 606 $aTechnology?Philosophy 606 $aMass media and culture 606 $aCommunication 606 $aInformation theory 606 $aDigital and New Media 606 $aMedia Sociology 606 $aPhilosophy of Technology 606 $aMedia Culture 606 $aMedia and Communication Theory 615 0$aDigital media. 615 0$aMass media. 615 0$aTechnology?Philosophy. 615 0$aMass media and culture. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aInformation theory. 615 14$aDigital and New Media. 615 24$aMedia Sociology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Technology. 615 24$aMedia Culture. 615 24$aMedia and Communication Theory. 676 $a302.231 700 $aSoon$b Carol$01075778 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910731481603321 996 $aMobile Communication and Online Falsehoods in Asia$93394906 997 $aUNINA
