Opis

The Roots of Fake News argues that ‘fake news’ is not a problem caused by the internet or the failure of good journalism to assert itself. Rather, it is within the news’ ideological foundations – professionalism, neutrality, and most especially objectivity – that the roots of the current ‘crisis’ are to be found.
