Hi Sarah If you're looking for academic articles as well as media texts, then the recent EASST review has some interesting short articles on post-truth specifically related to Trump in the 'STS Live' section - https://easst.net/issue/easst-review-volume-362-july-2017/ These aren't about evaluating facts on the internet specifically, but are more philosophical (and disciplinary) arguments about the status of facts, truth and expertise.

Hi all,
I?m participating in a seminar called ?History in the Age of Trump? and am gathering resources (websites, articles, podcasts, online discussions etc) highlighting the problems we face in securing ?facts? and evidence today, along with strategies for accessing reliable evidence and sources on the internet. ?I?d be grateful for any recommendations and thoughts from the AIR-L community.
Thanks in advance,
Sarah Ketchley
