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   aDisinformation, Fake news, Information crisis, Lay informatics, Misinformation, Pseudo-information, Publics, Social media927804  aAmerican Behavioral Scientist   aMASS MEDIA  cAR  00102ddc40709392628aIIPAbIIPAd2021-09-29h65(2), Feb, 2021: p.163-179pAR125689r2021-09-29yAR
