About this listen

Since the 2016 US presidential election, concerns about fake news have fostered calls for government regulation and industry intervention to mitigate the influence of false content. These proposals are hindered by a lack of consensus concerning the definition of fake news or its origins. Media scholar Nolan Higdon contends that expanded access to critical media literacy education, grounded in a comprehensive history of fake news, is a more promising solution to these issues.

The Anatomy of Fake News offers the first historical examination of fake news that takes as its goal the effective teaching of critical news literacy in the United States. Higdon employs a critical-historical media ecosystems approach to identify the producers, themes, purposes, and influences of fake news. The findings are then incorporated into an invaluable fake news detection kit. This much-needed resource provides a rich history and a promising set of pedagogical strategies for mitigating the pernicious influence of fake news.

The book is published by University of California Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

I am a skeptic that questions practically everything. The last chapter of this book provides tools to be used when questioning. I highly recommend this book to enlighten the public.

This is a very enlightening book

I appreciate the research that went into this book. Adults and students should read/listen to The Anatomy of Fake News; so much to learn about the way information is disseminated, and critical thinking skills are imperative in order to be properly informed. Peter Lerman’s narration was very clear and great throughout the audiobook!

Great Historical Presentation

A great quick education on what the term so many have used without actually knowing what it is. A term that has been weaponized by the masses. Narrator Peter Lerman presents an interesting subject in a precise and authoritative manner, as usual. It's easy to forget that Lerman is not actually the author. A timely and well presented book.
