Navigating the Post-Truth Era: Truth, Trust, and Strategies for Information Integrity

Author(s) Dr. Sumit Kumar
Country India
Abstract In the era of information overload and the fragmentation of the media space, the concepts of truth and trust are in the throes of a revolutionary change. ‘Post-truth’, 2016 Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year, means “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief” (Oxford Languages, 2016). As a result of this, a crisis of epistemic authority is occurring, and many sources of truth are coming under challenge. The processes of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation have become commonplace in the digital age and changed the way people perceive the world, obtain and process information, and trust in the institutions. The objective of this paper is to explore the paradoxical relationship between truth and trust in an age of information abundance, where people have access to an ever-growing supply of information, but the actual knowledge is fragmentary. By combining the philosophical, psychological, technological, sociological, and political approaches to the post-truth concept, the paper will aim to provide a better understanding of the phenomenon as well as of its causes and consequences for the concept of truth and loss of trust in traditional institutions. It will also try to determine the best possible way to regain some amount of integrity of information in the current state of the world.
