Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the role of disinformation in shaping public perception, the book examines how false reporting by the British press influenced the Brexit vote. Utilizing Critical Discourse Analysis, it explores the linguistic characteristics of misleading news stories, revealing how they function as myths that simplify complex political arguments. By presenting a Eurosceptic narrative, these stories contributed to a depoliticized view of British-European relations. The work serves as a case study on the dysfunction of political journalism, appealing to students and scholars in related fields.
