Description

The Roots of Fake News challenges conventional thinking about contemporary media crises by tracing the origins of misinformation back to journalism's foundational principles rather than modern technology. This Routledge publication argues that the ideological cornerstones of professional journalism - professionalism, neutrality, and objectivity - harbour the true roots of today's 'fake news' crisis. By placing media objectivity within its fuller historical context, the book examines how current perceptions of journalism's failures actually connect to a long-standing pattern of how news media have sidestepped, obscured, or overlooked the inherent difficulties in news reporting. Essential reading for media scholars, journalists, and anyone seeking to understand the systemic nature of misinformation in contemporary news.

Key Features

Routledge publication that reframes the fake news debate away from internet technology towards journalism's internal ideological structures.

Explores the historical development of media objectivity and how it relates to current crises in journalism and public trust.

Argues that professionalism and neutrality as journalistic ideals contain the seeds of the fake news problem.

Provides historical context for understanding how news media have systematically avoided addressing core difficulties in reporting.

Designed for media studies scholars, journalism professionals, and critical readers examining the roots of contemporary misinformation.
