Post-Truth - When Emotion Becomes Authority EDITORIAL

In recent years, the concept of post-truth has gained significant traction in political discourse, media studies, and social analysis. It refers to a cultural and political condition in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief (McIntyre, 2018; Oxford University Press, 2016). The rise of post-truth discourse signals a shift in the ways knowledge, authority, and truth are perceived and constructed in the public sphere.

Abstract

In recent years, the concept of post-truth has gained significant traction in political discourse, media studies, and social analysis. It refers to a cultural and political condition in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief (McIntyre, 2018; Oxford University Press, 2016). The rise of post-truth discourse signals a shift in the ways knowledge, authority, and truth are perceived and constructed in the public sphere.
