Faith in Freedom: Propaganda, Presidential Politics, and the Making of an American Religion
by Andrew R. PolkIn Faith in Freedom, Andrew R. Polk argues that the American civil religion so many have identified as indigenous to the founding ideology was, in fact, the result of a strategic campaign of religious propaganda. Far from being the natural result of the nation's religious underpinning or the later spiritual machinations of conservative Protestants, American civil religion and the resultant "Christian nationalism" of today were crafted by secular elites in the middle of the twentieth century. Polk's genealogy of the national motto, "In God We Trust," revises the very meaning of the contemporary American nation.Polk shows how Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, working with politicians, advertising executives, and military public relations experts, exploited denominational religious affiliations and beliefs in order to unite Americans during the Second World War and, then, the early Cold War. Armed opposition to the Soviet Union was coupled with militant support for free economic markets, local control of education and housing, and liberties of speech and worship. These preferences were cultivated by state actors so as to support a set of right-wing positions including anti-communism, the Jim Crow status quo, and limited taxation and regulation.Faith in Freedom is a pioneering work of American religious history. By assessing the ideas, policies, and actions of three US Presidents and their White House staff, Polk sheds light on the origins of the ideological, religious, and partisan divides that describe the American polity today.

Fake News in Contemporary Science and Politics: A Requiem for the Real?
by Keith MoserThis transdisciplinary book investigates the profound repercussions of living in a post-truth world in which 'alternative facts' and post-truth knowledge claims, often bordering on the absurd, have replaced the real in the collective imagination of millions of people around the planet. Through discussions on climate change denial, the anti-vaccination movement, the January 6th Insurrection and the Russia-Ukraine War, this study explores the gravity of the current 'infodemic,' or the increasing inability of a large segment of the population to distinguish between reality and misrepresentation, and the destabilizing impact this infodemic has on democratic models of governance around the globe, coinciding with the rise of autocratic forms of populism.
Fake News, Hashtags & Social Bots: Neue Methoden populistischer Propaganda (Aktivismus- und Propagandaforschung)
by Klaus Sachs-Hombach Bernd ZywietzDer Band versammelt Beiträge zum Thema der gegenwärtigen „digitalen“ Propaganda, wie sie im Kontext des Populismus eine besondere Rolle spielt.

Fake News: Separating Truth from Fiction
by Michael MillerWhile popularized by President Donald Trump, the term "fake news" actually originated toward the end of the 19th century, in an era of rampant yellow journalism. Since then, it has come to encompass a broad universe of news stories and marketing strategies ranging from outright lies, propaganda, and conspiracy theories to hoaxes, opinion pieces, and satire—all facilitated and manipulated by social media platforms. This title explores journalistic and fact-checking standards, Constitutional protections, and real-world case studies, helping readers identify the mechanics, perpetrators, motives, and psychology of fake news. A final chapter explores methods for assessing and avoiding the spread of fake news.
Fake News: Understanding Media and Misinformation in the Digital Age (Information Policy)
by Kembrew McLeod Melissa ZimdarsNew perspectives on the misinformation ecosystem that is the production and circulation of fake news.What is fake news? Is it an item on Breitbart, an article in The Onion, an outright falsehood disseminated via Russian bot, or a catchphrase used by a politician to discredit a story he doesn't like? This book examines the real fake news: the constant flow of purposefully crafted, sensational, emotionally charged, misleading or totally fabricated information that mimics the form of mainstream news. Rather than viewing fake news through a single lens, the book maps the various kinds of misinformation through several different disciplinary perspectives, taking into account the overlapping contexts of politics, technology, and journalism.The contributors consider topics including fake news as “disorganized” propaganda; folkloric falsehood in the “Pizzagate” conspiracy; native advertising as counterfeit news; the limitations of regulatory reform and technological solutionism; Reddit's enabling of fake news; the psychological mechanisms by which people make sense of information; and the evolution of fake news in America. A section on media hoaxes and satire features an oral history of and an interview with prankster-activists the Yes Men, famous for parodies that reveal hidden truths. Finally, contributors consider possible solutions to the complex problem of fake news—ways to mitigate its spread, to teach students to find factually accurate information, and to go beyond fact-checking.ContributorsMark Andrejevic, Benjamin Burroughs, Nicholas Bowman, Mark Brewin, Elizabeth Cohen, Colin Doty, Dan Faltesek, Johan Farkas, Cherian George, Tarleton Gillespie, Dawn R.

Fake Politics: How Corporate and Government Groups Create and Maintain a Monopoly on Truth
by Jason BisnoffIn “grassroots” campaigns, the grass isn’t always green—or natural.In today’s chaotic world, where the multiplication of information sources creates competing narratives, credibility is the key to winning the war of ideas. This is the reason why governments and corporations resort to astroturfing—creation of ostensibly grassroots movements set up to advance political agendas and commercial campaigns. The democratization of information and polarization of politics offer a perfect storm.Fake Politics tells the stories of how this practice has transformed political activism into a veiled lobbying effort by the rich and the powerful. Through a series of vignettes involving the tea party, oil industry, big tobacco, big data, and news media, this book will explore the similarities and differences between various campaigns that appeared as grassroots but, in reality, were lobbying efforts fueled by governments, corporations, major industries, and religious institutions.The process, named for the artificial grass fields at football stadiums and high schools across the country, became so prevalent in the last two decades that it now sits at a tipping point. In the era of “fake news” and “alternative facts,” with the truth well on its way to becoming indistinguishable from fabrication, what can the past of astroturfing tell us about the future of grassroots activism?
Fake news: Cómo se fabrican en la Argentina y en el mundo
by Julián MaradeoA partir de casos locales y del mundo, el libro cuenta la historia de las noticias falsas, de cómo nos ponen en estado de alerta y, al mismo tiempo, refleja la debilidad estatal, la falta de control y el enorme lobby alrededor de ellas. La imagen de una chica con su bebé en brazos mientras carga en la espalda una caja térmica de delivery es la punta del iceberg de un fenómeno que sacudió las nociones de verdad y mentira: las fake news. Todos estamos expuestos y a la vez las reproducimos hasta convertirlas en pandémicas. Sus consecuencias pueden alterar elecciones, decisiones de gobierno e incluso provocar muertes. A partir de casos locales y del mundo, el libro cuenta la historia de las noticias falsas, de cómo nos ponen en estado de alerta y, al mismo tiempo, reflejan la debilidad estatal, la falta de control y el enorme lobby alrededor de ellas. «Esta investigación -dice Julián Maradeo- trata sobre otra forma de ejercer el poder. Una que es imperceptible, escurridiza, placentera y extraterritorial. Una que jaquea a todas las teorías que discurrieron por siglos al respecto. Una en la que interviene un lenguaje que resulta ajeno, sujetos que parecen salidos de una película, geografías remotas. Una que pone en entredicho las reglas del juego democrático. Las noticias falsas no discriminan entre Oriente y Occidente, afectan a todos sin mirar a quién».
Fakten statt Fakes: Wie Medien und Organisationen wieder glaubwürdig werden
by Julia Frohne Alexander GüttlerFake News, PR-Skandal, Mainstream-Presse – diese Schlagworte kennzeichnen vor allem eines: den Vertrauensverlust der Öffentlichkeit in die Berichterstattung von Medien und Unternehmen. In einem nahezu unentwirrbaren Kommunikationsdschungel aus Medien, Internetportalen und sozialen Plattformen wird es nicht nur für Laien immer schwieriger, verlässliche und unseriöse Kommunikation voneinander zu unterscheiden.So steigt die Anzahl derer, die professioneller Kommunikation mit Misstrauen begegnen und in ihr vor allem Einflussnahme oder gar Manipulation sehen. Aus den Augen gerät dabei oft, dass Deutschland über eines der freiheitlichsten und vielfältigsten Mediensysteme der Welt verfügt.Das Buch diskutiert die Grenzen zwischen Manipulation und Kommunikation on- wie offline und zeigt, wie man schlampige und seriöse Meinungsmacher unterscheidet, welche Rolle Fakten spielen und wie Medien und Unternehmen dazu beitragen können, dass Glaubwürdigkeit in der medialen Debatte wieder einen Stellenwert bekommt.
Fakten · Bilder · Töne · Story: Dokumentarische Filmdramaturgie: TV · Video · Netz · Kino (Journalistische Praxis)
by Gregor Alexander HeussenDokumentarische Filme aller Genres in TV, Kino und Netz entfalten ihre informative Kraft erst dann, wenn sie dramaturgisch als Erzählungen strukturiert sind, nicht als Aufzählungen. Sie müssen die Emotionen des Publikums wecken, damit die filmische Information verstanden werden kann. Wirksame dokumentarische Filmgestaltung ist begründet in der Art, wie Menschen hinschauen und hinhören. Ihre Wahrnehmungen werden zu Vorstellungen; diese prägen die Information. Dadurch verändern sich viele überkommene Regeln für Dokumentarische Filme. Neue Ideen werden möglich. Werkzeuge dafür sind der Erzählsatz, die Roten Fäden, die Drama-Elementarmuster, das konzentrierte Zusammenspiel der sechs filmischen Erzähler, Emotionsziel und Argumentziel und die für Erzählungen charakteristische Polaritätslogik. Anders als fiktionale Filme müssen Dokumentarische Filme durch ihre erzählerische Struktur und filmische Gestaltung einen nachprüfbaren Bezug zur Lebensrealität des Publikums schaffen. Spielfilme hingegen können in ihrem jeweils definierten Erzählkosmos plausibel und authentisch sein. Im Dokumentarischen lassen sich auch Werkzeuge und Muster der Fiktionalen Dramaturgie nutzen, aber mit anderer Absicht und Wirkung: sie müssen die Lebensrealität treffen. Das Buch von Gregor Alexander Heussen zeigt Dokumentarische Dramaturgie praktisch; und begründet sie mit Erkenntnissen der Kognitionswissenschaft. Redakteure* und Film-Auftraggeber* finden Werkzeuge und Denkwege für Planung, und Filmabnahme. Autoren* erfahren die Kraft der dramaturgischen Recherche und entdecken neue Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bei Dreh und Montage. Das Buch ist ein Muss für alle, die sich für dokumentarischen Film in TV, Kino, Netz und Unternehmen interessieren. Mit dem Buch sind 29 runterladbare, sofort nutzbare Drama-Werkzeuge verlinkt.
Fall: The Mysterious Life and Death of Robert Maxwell, Britain's Most Notorious Media Baron
by John PrestonCosta Prize Winner: The “best biography yet” of notorious media mogul Robert Maxwell, “by turns engrossing, amusing, and appalling” (Sunday Times).In February 1991, Robert Maxwell triumphantly sailed into New York Harbor on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, to buy the ailing Daily News. Taxi drivers stopped their cabs to shake his hand, children asked for his autograph, and patrons of the hottest restaurant in Manhattan gave him a standing ovation while he dined. Ten months later, Maxwell disappeared off that same yacht in the middle of the night and was later found dead in the water. As John Preston, author of A Very English Scandal, reveals in this biography, Maxwell’s death was as mysterious as his remarkable life.A tightly paced, addictive saga of ambition, hubris, narcissism, greed, power, and intrigue, this book recounts Maxwell’s rise and fall and rise and fall again. Preston moves backward and forward in time to examine the forces that shaped Maxwell, from his Jewish childhood in occupied Eastern Europe to his failed political ambitions in the 1960s that ended in accusations of financial double-dealing to his resurrection as a media mogul—and the family legacy he left behind, including his daughter Ghislaine Maxwell. Preston chronicles Maxwell’s all-encompassing rivalry with Rupert Murdoch—a battle that ruined Maxwell financially, threatened his sanity, and led, indirectly, to his death. Did Maxwell have a heart attack and fall overboard? Was his death suicide? Or was he murdered—possibly by Mossad or the KGB? Few in the twentieth century journeyed as far from his roots as Robert Maxwell. Yet, as Fall reveals, no one, however rich and powerful, can entirely escape their past. “Preston tells [the story] with great verve and the benefit of extensive interviews.” —The Economist“The mystery of this larger-than-life figure is perplexing—true crime aficionados will be absorbed.” —Library Journal“One of the most enigmatic figures in the annals of white-collar crime . . . well-researched, compelling.” —Kirkus Reviews
Falling for London: A Cautionary Tale
by Sean MallenWhen Sean Mallen finally landed his dream job, it fell on him like a ton of bricks.Not unlike the plaster in his crappy, overpriced London flat. The veteran journalist was ecstatic when he unexpectedly got the chance he’d always craved: to be a London-based foreign correspondent. It meant living in a great city and covering great events, starting with the Royal Wedding of William and Kate. Except: his tearful wife and six-year-old daughter hated the idea of uprooting their lives and moving to another country. Falling for London is the hilarious and touching story of how he convinced them to go, how they learned to live in and love that wondrous but challenging city, and how his dream came true in ways he could have never expected.
Fallout: The Hiroshima Cover-up and the Reporter Who Revealed It to the World
by Lesley M.M. BlumeNew York Times bestselling author Lesley M.M. Blume reveals how one courageous American reporter uncovered one of the deadliest cover-ups of the 20th century—the true effects of the atom bomb—potentially saving millions of lives. Just days after the United States decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs, the Japanese surrendered unconditionally. But even before the surrender, the US government and military had begun a secret propaganda and information suppression campaign to hide the devastating nature of these experimental weapons. The cover-up intensified as Occupation forces closed the atomic cities to Allied reporters, preventing leaks about the horrific long-term effects of radiation which would kill thousands during the months after the blast. For nearly a year the cover-up worked—until New Yorker journalist John Hersey got into Hiroshima and managed to report the truth to the world. As Hersey and his editors prepared his article for publication, they kept the story secret—even from most of their New Yorker colleagues. When the magazine published &“Hiroshima&” in August 1946, it became an instant global sensation, and inspired pervasive horror about the hellish new threat that America had unleashed. Since 1945, no nuclear weapons have ever been deployed in war partly because Hersey alerted the world to their true, devastating impact. This knowledge has remained among the greatest deterrents to using them since the end of World War II. Released on the 75th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, Fallout is an engrossing detective story, as well as an important piece of hidden history that shows how one heroic scoop saved—and can still save—the world.
