Disruptive Information in Canada

Autor Ahmed Al-Rawi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 feb 2027
This book examines Canadian news content that references different terms related to fake news and disinformation while providing an analysis of Canadian journalists' views on how to report on fake news and its impact in today's society.

Disruptive Information in Canada presents a discussion on the public's discourses on disruptive information in relation to Canadian issues, as the majority of previous studies are limited to the US or European contexts. It offers unique insight into fake news reporting and discourses in Canada since it examines several main areas like news coverage, journalists' views, advertising, and trolling on social media.

This book offers a new theoretical conceptualization of our post-truth era by introducing the concept of "Disruptive Information" via focusing on news and social media content as well as journalists reporting on these issues. With the use of a mixed methods approach, it provides different insights into this important topic.

Recenzii

An impressively comprehensive guide to understanding how disruptive information is deployed in both Canadian news media and online discourse. It's an essential text if one wants to make sense of this often disorienting age of disinformation and misinformation.
Disruptive Information in Canada is an important book for critical technology scholars, political economists, journalists, and policy makers who want to understand the current state of misinformation, disinformation, and other disruptive information in a Canadian context. The book is thorough, well researched, and provides solid empirical evidence of the complex domestic and geo-political forces influencing the spread of disruptive information. Al-Rawi situates the challenges of disruptive information for Canada, showing that information operations interacts with each person's community, media exposure, and individual psychology to spread information that is detrimental to democratic engagement. A must read for anyone concerned about the health of democratic communication in this country.
Confused, conflicted, feeling tricked? For years, Ahmed Al-Rawi has questioned how Canada's media system works and doesn't. Pulling together his wide-ranging research, his book introduces the novel concept of disruptive media to explore how successful media manipulation today leaves us less informed, as well as how the business of confusion is driving our contemporary media system.
