Long before the current preoccupation with “fake news”, American newspapers routinely ran stories that were not quite, strictly speaking, true. 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.
Around the start of the 20th 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. This “fake journalism” became inextricably bound up with right-wing politics, to the point where it has become an essential driver of political polarization. This book is a timely consideration of what happens to public life when news is not exactly true.

US journalism has always been the elites propaganda network. Going back to the Founders themselves.

The problem is that actual journalism is wholly indispensable. The con theory-laden internet is scarcely a substitute. But hard journalism is expensive, & not very profitable. This is where corporate entities & conflict of interest can rudely intrude. Objectivity becomes a more remote, quaint objective. What’s always of interest is what’s not being said. Helps to compare sources. Distinguish betw what is in the public interest, & what’s merely of ephemeral interest to the public.

@caesar963 - I can’t disagree with that.
Personally I think the real problem is not so much ‘fake news’, which is a real issue from both side of the spectrum, but that as we have devolved more and more into a ‘Celebrity Culture’ based society that instead of news organizations supplying us with basic facts that the talking heads and those behind them have fallen into the trap (routine?) of telling us what to think.
Along these lines, following the way our entertainment media has become increasingly graphic with so much fake action we are seeing our news clips becoming staged to give ‘entertainment’ value.
The sad reality is that our news has just followed society into the realms of ‘fake reality’.
