Abstract

Resulting from a set of reflections by Portuguese and Brazilian authors, As Fake News e a nova ordem (des)informativa na era da pós-verdade (Fake News and the New (Dis)Informative Order in the Post-Truth Era),  is presented as a mix between a collective authored book and a special edition of a scientific journal. This approach, in our view, represents both its strongest and most fragile points: fragile because it naturally entails recurring framing themes throughout the book, without necessarily advancing the discussion; strong because it addresses a topic that greatly benefits from being examined scientifically in a plural, cross-cutting manner, and through diverse methodologies.
