Positing that the interrelated processes of misinformation, disinformation, fake news and conspiracy theories are related forms of distortion of information through media (DIM) and can only be understood through a multilevel theoretical model that incorporates message-based, individual difference, social network-based, societal and geotechnical factors, Brian H. Spitzberg develops an integrative, well-argued, and well-evidenced framework within which these issues can and should be addressed. This book offers a model for further research across such disciplines as communication, journalism/media studies, political science, sociology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, evolutionary psychology, public health, big data analytics, social network analytics, computational linguistics and geographic information sciences, and will interest researchers and students in those areas." -- $c Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Misinformation. 650 0 $a Disinformation. 650 0 $a Communication in mass media. 650 0 $a Social media. 650 0 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Communication in public health. 650 6 $a Mesinformation. 650 6 $a Medias sociaux. 650 6 $a Pandemie de COVID-19, 2020- $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a Desinformation. 650 6 $a Communication en sante publique. 650 7 $a social media. $2 aat 650 7 $a Communication in mass media $2 fast 650 7 $a Misinformation $2 fast 650 7 $a Social media $2 fast 648 7 $a Since 2020 $2 fast 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781000951875 830 0 $a Routledge studies in media, communication, and politics ; $v 19. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010457.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=498AC3E82E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
