SUMMARY:Faculty Speaker Event: The History of Fake News in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Loyola University Chicago Libraries is pleased to present 
 Loyola Associate Professor in the Department of History\, Michelle 
 Nickerson\, who will speak about "Fake News in the United States." Dr. 
 Nickerson teaches courses on the history of women and gender\, U.S. 
 politics\, social movements\, cities and suburbs. \n\nNickerson's talk will 
 take you through American journalism’s historical and politicized 
 relationship to facts. Starting with the partisan newspapers of the early 
 republic\, then moving through the sensationalistic and lurid decades of 
 late 19th-century yellow journalism\, she will demonstrate how Americans 
 did not start demanding accuracy from news until the early twentieth 
 century\, when influential Americans grew tired of their privacy being 
 violated by muckrakers and tabloid writers. Nickerson will also discuss how 
 the development of cable news and online social media\, arriving as they 
 did in the age of the culture wars\, fractured politics culture with their 
 double-whammy. Unlike the early nineteenth-century era of partisanship\, 
 however\, we find ourselves in a post-truth era\, when politics structure 
 the packaging and delivery of news (as it did in the early republic)\, but 
 this time “truth” and “fact” remain elevated standards to which 
 journalists and politicians lay claim.\n\nThe event is free and open to the 
 public. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is encouraged. 
 \n\nPlease select the blue "Begin Registration" button below to
