Description
How do we tell which news is real? Won’t Get Fooled Again is the definitive graphic guide to the fake news phenomenon, as seen through the eyes and ears of students, seniors, families, and consumers. No one is impervious to its effects—but there are ways to fight back.
Using real examples from around the world, Erin Steuter explains how governments, advertisers, powerful corporations, and think tanks can influence news media to manipulate voters or reap billions in profits. Meticulously researched and accessibly written, this comic will educate, elucidate, and entertain.
Advance Praise
“This book is just what we need: a fun-filled, accessible guide to the mess we are in and how we might think our way out of it. I can’t think of a better way to undermine the fearmongering and tunnel vision of our times than with a graphic guide like this.”
–Derek Hrynyshyn, author of The Limits of the Digital Revolution: How Mass Media Culture Endures in a Social Media World
"A great inoculation for the innocent, exposing all kinds of well-funded efforts to deceive them."
–Joel Andreas, author of Addicted to War
“An accessible, helpful, and sadly necessary field guide to the age of mis- and dis-information.”
–Brendan de Caires, executive director of PEN Canada
“Cutting through what is and what isn't fake news isn't easy, and Erin Steuter's work manages to find a way. Engaging, fun and easy to understand, Steuter offers readers tools to navigate both the online and real worlds, and how to see through the spin to catch all the facts.”
–Nora Loreto, freelance writer, activist, and editor for the Canadian Association of Labour Media
