back to overview

From digital political participation in the 2014 independence referendum in Scotland to foreign cyber interference in the French presidential election in 2017 and 2022. From audience trust perception among fact-checkers in Mali to Scandinavian fact-checking of the Israel-Hamas conflict. From crisis pregnancy centers to climate change discussions. From Wikipedia to Tik Tok. In this third anthology from the AreaS research group at Østfold University College we take a closer look at the notion of trust in a digital society. How do we build trust and trusting relationships in the context of digitalization and what are the main challenges we face when it comes to trust in the digital world? The book is recommended for students, scholars and practitioners interested in how trust is built and challenged by digital media.
