Examining truth, expertise, and authority in the contemporary United StatesIn an era defined by accusations of "fake news," declining institutional trust, and deepening political polarization, Truth After Post-Truth reframes the debate about knowledge and democracy in the United States. Rather than treating the so-called post-truth crisis as a failure of public reasoning or the product of bad-faith actors and digital misinformation, this interdisciplinary volume argues that the problem runs deeper and that solutions require renewed democratic deliberation about how public knowledge itself should be produced, evaluated, and shared.Contributors move beyond familiar diagnoses that blame either misinformed citizens or manipulative media systems. Instead, they interrogate the intellectual and political norms that underwrite claims about truth, expertise, and authority. This book challenges the assumption that restoring democracy depends on returning the public to a fixed set of knowledge practices and calls instead for open debate about which norms and institutions best serve a pluralistic society. Organized around three urgent questions—what relationship a healthy democracy should have to experts, whether a shared and cross-partisan news sphere is necessary or achievable, and whether media reform or media literacy is the more pressing priority—the essays are rigorous, provocative, and often in productive tension with one another. Together, they model the kind of critical engagement needed to rebuild a more resilient democratic information environment.Timely and forward-looking, Truth After Post-Truth will be essential reading for readers concerned with the future of democratic public life, as well as for scholars and students of media, politics, and communication.Contributors include the volume editors as well as Mark Andrejevic, Matt Carlson, Vivek Chibber, Belinha de Abreu, John Nerone, Whitney Phillips, Sue Robinson, Michael Schudson, Nik Usher, Andrea Wenzel, and Alex Worsnip.
