Information Disorder: Toward an interdisciplinary framework for research and policymaking - Shorenstein Center: "While we know that mis-information is not new, the emergence of the internet and social technology have brought about fundamental changes to the way information is produced, communicated and distributed. Other characteristics of the modern information environment include:
a) Widely accessible, cheap and sophisticated editing and publishing technology has made it easier than ever for anyone to create and distribute content;
b) Information consumption, which was once private, has become public because of social media;
c) The speed at which information is disseminated has been supercharged by an accelerated news cycle and mobile handsets;
d) Information is passed in real-time between trusted peers, and any piece of information is far less likely to be challenged." 'via Blog this'
