More Information
Using a geographic lens to examine the adoption and dissemination of, and attention to ‘fake news’, this timely and important book explores how misinformation in the digital age calls attention to the multiple geographic dimensions of online fictions, conspiracy theories and political disinformation.

Chapters delve into how social and digital media have rescaled and disrupted relations of trust and authority in the (mis)information age. The book draws on quantitative data and qualitative cases to shed light on the geographies of misinformation, covering urban legends, political rumors, information weaponization, and Climategate, as well as trade and financial fictions. The book explores in depth climate change misinformation, conspiracy theories and other critical contemporary events such as Pizzagate, Russian-led overseas political interference campaigns, and Cambridge Analytica.

地理和环境研究学者将受益于对本书使用的全球气候变化和地理镜头的分析。对于寻求有用的参考,总结有关可访问散文错误信息的跨学科工作的有用参考的从业者和政策制定者来说,这也将是一本重要的阅读。

‘Misinformation has never been more important, and more of a threat, to politics, society, or the economy. Yet, we know surprisingly little about how misinformation is circulated across geographies and within networks. This powerful book changes that and brings together a wealth of research into misinformation in the digital age.’
– Mark Graham, University of Oxford, UK
