Samenvatting:

This book examines Canadian news content that references different terms related to fake news and disinformation while providing an analysis of Canadian journalists' views on how to report on fake news and its impact in today's society.

Disruptive Information in Canada presents a discussion on the public's discourses on disruptive information in relation to Canadian issues, as the majority of previous studies are limited to the US or European contexts. It offers unique insight into fake news reporting and discourses in Canada since it examines several main areas like news coverage, journalists' views, advertising, and trolling on social media.

This book offers a new theoretical conceptualization of our post-truth era by introducing the concept of “Disruptive Information” via focusing on news and social media content as well as journalists reporting on these issues. With the use of a mixed methods approach, it provides different insights into this important topic.
