Abstract

"This volume addresses the concept of "(in)nocent lies" in the media - beyond the concept of misleading information online, this extends to a deliberate effort to spread misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories - and proposes a critical approach to tackle the issue in related interdisciplinary fields. The book takes a multidisciplinary and international approach, addressing the digital divide and global inequality, as well as algorithmic bias, how misinformation harms vulnerable groups, social lynching and the effect of misinformation on certain social, political and cultural agendas, among other topics. Arranged thematically, the chapters paint a nuanced and original picture of this issue. This book will be of interest to students and academics in the areas of digital media, media and politics, journalism, development studies, gender and race"--
