摘要
Journalists' epistemological activities-presumed to provide factual and reliable public information-have made journalism one of the most influential knowledge-producing institutions in society. However, changes-both slow and sudden-related to the digitization of news media and the diffusion of misinformation are challenging the social role and authority of journalism. This special issue advances research in two emerging sub-fields: (1) epistemologies of digital journalism and (2) the study of misinformation. This editorial presents an introduction to the sub-fields and a summary of the nine papers included in the special issue.
