What is Fake News? Why Are We So Angry?
-
- Social Sciences
In this episode, we discuss Fake News. What is it? Is it something new? Can we do something about it? Or do we have to accept it as a necessary evil, and can we then perhaps learn how to deal with it?
We have a conversation with Steven Rathje, a young psychologist who recently joined New York University after graduate work at Cambridge, and who is studying the emergence of fake news and the psychology of social media.
