The contemporary crisis of social, political and media trust is well-documented, as is the range of the challenges it poses for reliably making sense of news and current affairs in a real-time global media ecology. In this context, our immediate affective responses can significantly condition how we react to social stimuli, creating conflicting trends in who and what we trust. This panel looks in more detail at some of these trends. Placing the spotlight on some of the most pressing issues in studies of contemporary information manipulation, the panel interrogates their philosophical and conceptual backstories, as well as their real-world relevance.
