Nothing in life works without facts. A society that isn' t sure what' s true can' t function. Without facts there can be no government or law. Science is ignored. Trust evaporates. People everywhere feel ever more alienated from - and mistrustful of - news and those who make it. We no longer seem to know who or what to believe. We are living through a crisis of ' information chaos' . News: And How to Use It is a glossary for this bewildering age. From AI to Bots, from Climate Crisis to Fake News, from Clickbait to Trolls (and more), here is the definitive user' s guide for how to stay informed, tell truth from fiction and hold those in power accountable in the modern age.
