-references to Goebbels
-posthumous rehabilitation of McCarthy

Ny bok på svenska (tänkt som kursbok) just från trycket. Vad kan källkritik göra när ”Samtiden präglas av sociala mediers flöden, algoritmernas enorma makt och samtidigt osynlighet, och en framväxande generativ AI:s kapacitet att sprida lögner, påhittade historier och videor”.
