[Air-L] Fake News

[Joshua Braun]

This also seems like a reasonable place to plug J Michael Sproule's work
on the American experience with propaganda and misinformation:

https://books.google.com/books?id=Xv9cXHL9f18C&lpg=PP1&dq=J%20Michael%20Sproule&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false

He also has a great piece from years ago on what happened to the
original social science research program on propaganda:

Sproule, J. M. (1987). Propaganda studies in American social science:
The rise and fall of the critical paradigm. /Quarterly Journal of
Speech/, /73/(1), 60-78.

Cheers,
Josh
