Our digital networked society and newly emerging media platforms foster public misunderstanding of social affairs, which affects almost all aspects of individual life. The cost of lay citizens’ misunderstandings or crippled lay informatics can be high. Pseudo-information is responsible for deficient social systems and institutional malfunction. We thus ask questions and collect knowledge about the life of pseudo-information and the cognitive and communicative modus operandi of lay publics, as well as how to solve the problem of pseudo-information through understanding the changing media environment in this “truth-be-damned” era of information crisis. – Reproduced Disinformation, Fake news, Information crisis, Lay informatics, Misinformation, Pseudo-information, Publics, Social media 27804 American Behavioral Scientist MASS MEDIA AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 392628 IIPA IIPA 2021-09-29 65(2), Feb, 2021: p.163-179 AR125689 2021-09-29 AR
