If participants\u0000 are told they have been exposed to fake news, does this lead them to trust information institutions less, including the news\u0000 media? Study 1 (n = 188) found that news media credibility decreased when participants were told they saw fake\u0000 news, while news credibility did not change when participants were told they saw real news. Study 2 (n = 400)\u0000 found that those who saw fake news – and were told they saw a fake news post – decreased their trust in the news media while those\u0000 who saw fake news and were not debriefed did not change their perceptions of the news media. This shows that the social impact of\u0000 fake news is not limited to its direct consequences of misinforming individuals, but also includes the potentially adverse effects\u0000 of discussing fake news.","PeriodicalId":167182,"journal":{"name":"Discourses of Fake News","volume":"39 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125132819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contexts such as Russia and Iran, where the opposition\u0000 generally does not have unrestricted access to the political public sphere, social media platforms serve to influence discourses.\u0000 Given the prevalence of fake news discourses, previous studies have already focused extensively on the political elite and their\u0000 use of this discourse within Western or Anglo-American contexts, and on the typologies of ‘fake news’. Our findings address this\u0000 research gap and suggest that ordinary users in non-Western and non-democratic settings do not differentiate between ‘fake news’\u0000 types. Rather, they employ the discourse as a means to strategically delegitimise and discredit their opponents.","PeriodicalId":167182,"journal":{"name":"Discourses of Fake News","volume":"44 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129189961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These politicians rarely call the media fake, instead\u0000 alleging bias or questioning the veracity or standards of reporting and production.

While fake news\u0000 is increasingly attributed to declining audience trust, we know little about how publics are making sense of the concept. To address this, I\u0000 discuss findings arising from interviews with 24 Western Australian media consumers who offered their perspectives on Australian news\u0000 coverage of asylum seekers. Combining Critical Discourse methods with Rhetorical Analysis, findings highlight how participants evaluated\u0000 misinformation and disinformation about asylum seekers and in particular, how some adopted a discourse of ‘fake news’ to delegitimise\u0000 perspectives that oppose their own stance. Discussed alongside Egelhofer and Lecheler’s (2019)\u0000 theoretical framework of the fake news ‘label’, I argue that by understanding how audiences discussed fake news before the concept rose to\u0000 prominence in 2016, scholars can meaningfully examine discursive patterns within social constructions of fake news across numerous\u0000 contemporary and historical contexts.","PeriodicalId":167182,"journal":{"name":"Discourses of Fake News","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133218393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on the concepts of institutional legitimacy and intentional trust, this study analyzes legitimation narratives in projections of journalism’s future, using the Harvard University’s NiemanLab Predictions of Journalism from 2017 to 2021. Projectory narratives are meaningful constructions of a field’s future and provide guidance for its actors. The qualitative analysis of a Trump-related subset of predictions (ca. n = 130) convey (1) confrontational narratives of threat, self-reproach, and epistemological authority loss. Confrontational narratives serve to secure consent for suggested transparency and audience relationship building solutions. These (2) solution narratives represent trustification strategies. Lastly, (3) survival narratives aim at regaining authority and agency through legacy mythopoesis and the construction of a cautiously optimistic post-Trump outlook for journalism. Hence, the analysis of projectory narratives reveals how an organizational field collectively prepares for change to regain legitimacy.","PeriodicalId":167182,"journal":{"name":"Discourses of Fake News","volume":"7 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113976881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
