Navigating Fake News, Alternative Facts, and Misinformation in a Post-Truth World
In the current day and age, objective facts have less influence on opinions and decisions than personal emotions and beliefs. Many individuals rely on their social networks to gather information thanks to social media’s ability to share information rapidly and over a much greater geographic range.
