When a confusing media environment includes statements like \"Truth is not truth\" and \"The president offered alternative facts,\" students need to go beyond traditional reporting standards. They need to be trained to consider the presentation of reality in deciding if a statement is misleading or patently false. Detecting Deception applies the concepts of logical argumentation to supplement the verification techniques that are the stock and trade of any media professional. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePithy and practical, Amanda Sturgill draws from present day news examples to help students recognize the most common bad arguments people make. Detecting Deception is an essential tool for training future journalists to build stories that recognize faulty arguments and hold their subjects to a higher standard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amanda Sturgill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538141027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538141021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022","brand":"Amanda Sturgill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995247018239,"sku":"9781538141021","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70820857-311a-4440-8321-a232c2b7e011.jpg?v=1683334708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/detecting-deception-amanda-sturgill-9781538141021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
