- What is misinformation?
- Why is there so much more misinformation nowadays?
- Why are we in a misinformation crisis-is it the result of sabotage or market forces?
- How is misinformation harmful?

With a glossary of key terms, suggestions for further reading, and lesson plans for teachers and reading groups, Misinformation: The Basics is an ideal starting point for audiences interested in the study of news and information.
