The new and disturbing phenomenon of “Post-Truth” is discussed with particular attention given to the power of the ‘big-tech- giants and the role of search engines and social media. The use made of these facilities is reviewed with particular regard to their manipulation and exploitation to spread fake news and disinformation. The fight against post-truth is discussed, led by journalists, academia and, with particular emphasis, by the information professions. The role of government and the big-tech companies is also mentioned. The fight includes raising awareness, promotion of information literacy and fact checking. Web-based fact checking sites and advances in automated fact checking are reviewed.Downloads
