Chapters delve into how social and digital media have rescaled and disrupted relations of trust and authority in the (mis)information age. The book draws on quantitative data and qualitative cases to shed light on the geographies of misinformation, covering urban legends, political rumors, information weaponization, and Climategate, as well as trade and financial fictions. The book explores in depth climate change misinformation, conspiracy theories and other critical contemporary events such as Pizzagate, Russian-led overseas political interference campaigns, and Cambridge Analytica. Geography and environmental studies scholars will benefit from the analysis of the denial of global climate change and geographic lens the book uses. It will also be an important read for practitioners and policy makers looking for a helpful reference summarizing interdisciplinary work on misinformation in accessible prose"-- $c Publisher. 505 0 $a Misinformation in the digital age: An American infodemic -- Trust and authority in relational geography -- Personalized social media, geographies of trust and the news -- Social media as information weapon -- New agencies of technologically mediated power -- Misinformation governance and regulation -- Conclusion: A resurgence of misinformation in the digital age. 650 0 $a Misinformation $z United States. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Social media $z United States $x Influence. 650 7 $a Mass media $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011278 650 7 $a Mass media $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011303 650 7 $a Misinformation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02060007 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Poon, Jessie P.
