Reviews

In a field, horribly skewed towards research focused on the US, this edited collection answers the urgent need for more analysis of the local and specific complexities of disinformation. This is a must read for every researcher, practitioner and policy maker thinking about the impacts of disinformation globally. * Claire Wardle, Brown University, USA *
