ABSTRACT

The collection of papers in this special issue of Continuum draws out the many dimensions of fakery in contemporary digitally mediated cultures. The editors observe in their Introduction that ‘media fakery’ needs to be understood more broadly than simply fake news or misinformation. Rather, it sits within the broader media ecology of entertainment as well as news and occupies an ambiguous relationship to trust that invites the consumer to believe in what is being represented, whether with playful or more conspiratorial intent.

摘要

本期特刊Continuum中的论文集揭示了当代数字媒介文化中造假的许多方面。编辑在他们的引言中指出，“媒体造假”需要得到更广泛的理解，而不仅仅是假新闻或错误信息。相反，它位于更广泛的娱乐和新闻媒体生态中，与信任之间存在一种模棱两可的关系，这让消费者相信所代表的内容，无论是出于好玩的还是更多的阴谋意图。
