Con l'avvento dei social media è scomparso il solco che divideva mondo reale e mondo virtuale, consentendoci di identificarli abbastanza nettamente.

The democratization of information and polarization of politics offer a perfect storm.

Wikipedia definisce bigiotteria gli oggetti in cui "la valenza estetica compensi la modestia del valore intrinseco dei componenti".

Ammettiamolo: la realtà se ne infischia di ciò in cui crediamo. Tuttavia, le nostre convinzioni trasformano il modo in cui percepiamo il mondo. Ma dove nascono e come si diffondono le credenze? Che cosa ci porta a sostenere le idee più insolite o totalmente assurde, a scambiare per prove inossidabili semplici suggestioni, illusioni o, al massimo, ideologie e atti di fede? Perché finiamo per contraddire anche l’evidenza dei fatti? E chi coltiva le convinzioni più estreme è solo un pazzo o piuttosto una vittima della manipolazione dei social?

En este escenario, que parece sacado de una distopía orwelliana, la ética periodística, la confirmación y el rigor parecen reliquias olvidadas.

When these issues are coupled with the "fake news" industry that intentionally spreads false stories designed to go viral, educators are left facing a new and challenging landscape. This book will help them address these new realities.  

In Hate Crime Hoax, professor Wilfred Reilly examines over 100 widely publicized incidents of so-called hate crimes that never actually happened.
