Paradoxes of Media and Information Literacy: The Crisis of Information

The book analyses why media and information literacy (MIL) is often proposed as a solution for addressing the current information crisis and examines the paradoxes that are built into common understandings of such literacies

The book will be essential reading for scholars and students engaged in the study of library and information science, media and communication studies, journalism studies and the educational sciences.

There is no existing title that explores a) critiques of fake news and b) critiques information literacy models in relation to fake news and c) looks at the points of alignment between information literacy and media information literacy. These three aspects make the proposed book exciting and novel.
