María Soledad Segura: Public Communication and Democracy in Latin America , Gebunden

Klappentext

The  book  examines  alternatives  proposed  and  implemented  by  governments,  civil  society organizations, social movements and companies in Latin America to democratize public communication and overcome its current problems, such as the  dissemination  of  alternative  facts  and  fake  news, anti-scientific  discourse,  harassing, discriminatory and hate speech, anti-human rights and anti-democracy discourses, and the contempt for political correctness. Drawing on theoretical approaches from media and communication, political studies and sociology, the book identifies strengths and weaknesses of the strategies for promoting democratic dialogue in Latin America and globally.
