Today, a firm boundary between fact and fakery is a hallmark of journalistic practice, yet for many readers and publishers across more than three centuries, this distinction has seemed slippery or even irrelevant. From fibs in America's first newspaper about royal incest to social media-driven conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's birthplace, Andie Tucher explores how American audiences have argued over what's real and what's not and why that matters for democracy. Early American journalism was characterized by a hodgepodge of straightforward reporting, partisan broadsides, humbug, tall tales, and embellishment. Around the start of the twentieth century, journalists who were determined to improve the reputation of their craft established professional norms and the goal of objectivity. However, Tucher argues, the creation of outward forms of factuality unleashed new opportunities for falsehood: News doesn't have to be true as long as it looks true. Propaganda, disinformation, and advocacy-whether in print, on the radio, on television, or online-could be crafted to resemble the real thing. Dressed up in legitimate journalistic conventions, this "fake journalism" became inextricably bound up with right-wing politics, to the point where it has become an essential driver of political polarization. Shedding light on the long history of today's disputes over disinformation, this book is a timely consideration of what happens to public life when news is not exactly true"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Fake news $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Journalism $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Disinformation $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Journalism $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Press and politics $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Disinformation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895245 650 7 $a Fake news. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01985391 650 7 $a Journalism $x Corrupt practices. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984048 650 7 $a Journalism $x Objectivity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984072 650 7 $a Press and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075866 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Tucher, Andie. $t Not exactly lying $d New York : Columbia University Press, 2022 $z 9780231546591 $w (DLC) 2021036121 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020550.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230815010243.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230513010136.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20220730010115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8BB7544EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
