Are Russian propaganda or \"Fake news\" entrepreneurs on Facebook undermining our sense of a shared reality? A conventional wisdom has emerged since the election of Donald Trump in 2016 that new technologies and their manipulation by foreign actors played a decisive role in his victory and are responsible for the sense of a \"post-truth\" moment in which disinformation and propaganda thrives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eNetwork Propaganda\u003c\/em\u003e challenges that received wisdom through the most comprehensive study yet published on media coverage of American presidential politics from the start of the election cycle in April 2015 to the one year anniversary of the Trump presidency. Analysing millions of news stories together with Twitter and Facebook shares, broadcast television and YouTube, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the architecture of contemporary American political communications. Through data analysis and detailed qualitative case studies of coverage of immigration, Clinton scandals, and the Trump Russia investigation, the book finds that the right-wing media ecosystem operates fundamentally differently than the rest of the media environment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors argue that longstanding institutional, political, and cultural patterns in American politics interacted with technological change since the 1970s to create a propaganda feedback loop in American conservative media. This dynamic has marginalized centre-right media and politicians, radicalized the right wing ecosystem, and rendered it susceptible to propaganda efforts, foreign and domestic. For readers outside the United States, the book offers a new perspective and methods for diagnosing the sources of, and potential solutions for, the perceived global crisis of democratic politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYochai Benkler\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Berkman Professor of Entrepreneurial Legal Studies at Harvard Law School, and faculty co-director of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Faris\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Research Director of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHal Roberts\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet \u0026amp; Society at Harvard University.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 472\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51979052581165,"sku":"9780190923631","price":65.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/MWxnK2tObjFQK0ZQZ1lqNW1iRXNidz09.webp?v=1775818694","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/network-propaganda-manipulation-disinformation-and-radicalization-in-american-politics-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
