Book Review: The Routledge handbook of discourse and disinformation
摘要
The viral prevalence of “fake news” and disinformation has aroused global concern. Driven by ideological and/or financial motives, they contaminate media ecosystem through manipulated discourses. The Routledge Handbook of Discourse and Disinformation, published in 2024, focuses on examining linguistic features and rhetorical strategies within disinformation, (re)locating them into specific context, and revealing the underlying power dynamics, thereby cultivating a critical citizenry capable of evaluating information sources and debunking disinformation in the digital era.
