| Sommario/riassunto: | Newslore is folklore that comments on and hinges on knowledge of current events. These expressions come in many forms: jokes, urban legends, digitally altered photographs, mock news stories, press releases or inter-office memoranda, parodies of songs, poems, political and commercial advertisements, movie previews and posters, still or animated cartoons, and short live-action films. This book offers a snapshot of the items of newslore disseminated via the Internet that gained the widest currency around the turn of the millennium. |
