Are we really living in a post-truth age? Have ideas like information, knowledge and truth passed their sell-by date? Is 'information disorder' leading to the terminal decline of democracy? Or will fact-checkers, media regulators and educators come to the rescue?
The End of Information cuts through the exaggerated claims that have been made about these issues. Interrogating the key terms in the debate, including trust, democracy, news, and information itself, the book offers a clear-eyed evaluation of potential solutions to the problems involved. It also considers the implications for education in relation to key issues such as literacy and knowledge. It argues that we need to look not just at the symptoms of information disorder but also at their wider political and economic causes; and it suggests that these will not be amenable to a simple 'information fix'.
Accessibly written by a leading scholar in the field, this book provides a clear introduction to the information disorders of our times and some fresh thinking about how they can be addressed. Concise, engaging and incisive, it is essential reading for students, scholars and teachers alike.
