Chapter 3: The Never Ending Intellectual Theft of Truth: How the Mainstream Media Cartel Dismembers the Facts
Deep Fakes, Fake News, and Misinformation in Online Teaching and Learning Technologies
(2021)
Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to examine how the fake news has originated. This term has been in existence for decades, since the evolution of the printing press, which also disseminated false information. The mainstream media and non-mainstream media or just individuals in general have their own biases and agendas, so misinformation, disinformation, exaggerations, and deceptions will exist. This chapter will provide individuals from any political perspective or other beliefs evidence to make their own judgements. Digital citizenship and literacy will be explored using various examples of obtaining information and use of devices. In addition, this chapter will consider how researchers should take risks to explore controversial topics such as fake news to inform an audience using research.
