William Merrin: Media and truth

News reporting is hit by a crisis of confidence: Alt right, which has been criticised for the spread of fake news on social media, has turned criticism into an accusation against established journalism - with the result that the mainstream bubble is about to burst.

William Merrin is Senior Lecturer in Media Studies at Swansea University, Wales. He recently released Trump's Media War (2018) and Digital War (2018).
