Description

Exploring the highly interconnected global media landscape and the rapidly changing modes of communication and human interaction, Propaganda in the Digital Age presents a multi-faceted, global discussion and analysis of propaganda, war, media, information, misinformation, and disinformation.

Twenty-six accomplished scholars and media professionals come together to investigate and report on ways in which global media coverage of conflicts affect human affairs, communication, and cultural-political implications in the U.S. and around the world.

Propaganda in the Digital Age makes a significant contribution to the literature on media's role in global conflicts, intercultural relations, international relations, and international communication.

This timely edited volume, Propaganda in the Digital Age, offers a crucial examination of the pervasive influence of propaganda in the 21st century. As Cees J. Hamelink notes in the foreword, the contemporary information landscape presents unprecedented opportunities for mind management and brainwashing, making this collection all the more relevant. The book examines the evolving tactics of modern propagandists, exploring how they leverage digital platforms, manipulate narratives, and exploit media complicity to shape public perceptions. Through a diverse range of case studies and theoretical frameworks, the contributors analyze propaganda's impact on global conflicts, political discourse, media performance, and social dynamics. The volume not only illuminates the sophisticated techniques employed in information warfare but also prompts critical reflection on the responsibilities of information consumers in the digital age.
