ABSTRACT

Increasing attention is being directed at the impact of fake news on democratic societies across the globe. Scholars in a range of fields are attempting to determine who is behind fake news propaganda efforts, what its effects are, and how to combat it using technological means. This study looks at the ethical issues raised in the fight against fake news. By developing an outline of a pragmatist media ethics, this article examines the complex ethical terrain of the normative challenges of fake news. The pragmatist approach to fake news emphasizes the conflicting values and outcomes at stake in attempts to conceptualize and eradicate fake news. Such an imaginative engagement with the phenomenon of disinformation on its own terms is an essential first step in diagnosing its ethical challenges and potential solutions.

摘要

假新闻对全球民主社会的影响越来越受到关注。各个领域的学者都在试图确定谁在假新闻宣传工作的背后，其作用是什么，以及如何使用技术手段与之抗衡。这项研究着眼于在打击假新闻方面引发的道德问题。通过制定实用主义媒体伦理纲要，本文研究了假新闻规范挑战的复杂伦理领域。务实主义者对假新闻的态度强调了在概念化和消除假新闻的尝试中相互矛盾的价值观和结果。这种虚构的现象本身就属于虚假信息现象，是诊断其道德挑战和潜在解决方案的必不可少的第一步。
