Disinformation Studies: Perspectives from An Emerging Field

It all started at the ECREA 2021 Post Conference “Disinformation Studies: Perspectives to An Emerging Research Field”, which took place online, on September 10, 2021. The debate there quickly widened and was joined by other colleagues. The book that we bring you here is the result of part of that debate, which does not end with this publication. It will continue, whenever it finds someone interested in promoting it.
