The news has become an increasingly contested site of political division. This is especially true as the Trump administration's attack on mainstream journalism pushes the relationship between nationalism and political narratives of "alternative facts." In this session, presenters discuss their emerging research on: "fake news," the media's role in democratization, online extremism, and the future of media power.
