It discusses the differences between marketing, propaganda, and fake news and takes a deep and necessary dive into modern-day accusations of fake news and how to spot it. Although not all the photographs seem relevant, this series is well designed, containing a wealth of useful information for students to ponder, discuss, and debate.--Ilene Cooper Copyright 2019 Booklist Summary Since the 2016 presidential election, the term "fake news" has entered the cultural lexicon. People of all ages find it difficult to separate reliable sources from misinformation. Similarly, it can be difficult to discern unbiased journalism from propaganda. This must-have resource looks at the rise of misinformation and the ease with which it now spreads. Through examples from the United States and democracies around the world, this book encourages readers to question the balance between constitutional rights and irreparable damage to democracy.
