Noah Amir Arjomand's video: Global Fake News Ep 2: Media Effects - Pt 3

In this final installation of my "media effects" lecture, I discuss James Carey's ideas about how communications create culture and a sense of shared reality. Recommended: Carey, James. 1989. "A Cultural Approach to Communication." From Communication as Culture coverage of QAnon by ReplyAll: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/n8homa (note the apt comparisons to a religious movement and religious scriptures) https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/6nhw5w https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/llhe5nm The Global Fake News series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXBgO0h5c9zi6m62tWI5qZ4ASiPPcz-8- : What makes news real or fake? Who creates fake news, why, and how does it spread? And how do answers to those questions vary over time and around the world? This lecture series takes a global perspective to understanding truth and falsehood in the media and their effects on societies and on international relations. From the philosophy of bullshit to the history of propaganda, I bring together a wide range of sources and disciplines to consider fake news as a political tool, a side-effect of the social organization of news making, a product being sold to consumers, and either a threat to or an inescapable aspect of democracy. I originally created this series in Fall 2020 for the course Global Fake News at Indiana University-Bloomington's Department of International Studies.
