Considering users as active agents who already have tactics and strategies at their disposal, for better or worse, to navigate today’s turbulent information landscape, the book broadens the conversation beyond fake news and disinformation to offer fresh ideas for building media literacy approaches that start with what people actually do, rather than what experts think they should do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will interest researchers and advanced students in communication, media studies, journalism, democracy, audience studies, political communication, disinformation and related social sciences, who are interested in how citizens live with today’s news ecology and the stream of toxic news that circulates in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIke Picone \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor in Media and Journalism Studies at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium.
