Living with Misinformation: A Media Literacy Approach
London; New York: Routledge (2026), x, 114 pp.
"This book investigates how media literacy can be used to help people understand, identify and respond to online misinformation. Drawing on a three‑year research study that examined the everyday media experiences and abilities of more than 4,400 adults, this book presents an in‑depth look at how individuals experience and interpret misinformation across a range of topics. It argues that we need to learn to “live with” misinformation and outlines the skills, knowledge and critical thinking required for people to make informed decisions about their media use. This book uniquely integrates contemporary challenges such as generative AI and long‑standing concerns about information integrity, presenting both the problem and actionable educational responses."
