This book introduces listeners to the topic of misinformation. In recent years, many people have become worried about fake news, misinformation, disinformation, and the like. Is this concern justified or a panic over nothing? Misinformation: The Basics provides listeners with a short, accessible introduction to the topic and includes chapters answering the following questions: What is misinformation? Why is there so much more misinformation nowadays? Why are we in a misinformation crisis―is it the result of sabotage or market forces? How is misinformation harmful? What can we do to solve the misinformation problem?
