Bill Aspray has published two other books this fall that may be of interest to you that he and I co-authored. Both deal with the role of fake news in American history back to the 1700s, urban legends and how people used the Internet to scrutinize fake facts and rumors from 1990 to 2015. They can be considered as one large research project published in two parts: *Fake News Nation: The Long History of Lies and Misinterpretations *(Rowman & Littlefield, 2019, 312 pp) and *From Urban Legends to Political Fact-Checking: Online Scrutiny in America, 1990-2015 *(Springer-Verlag, 2019, 156 pp). -Jim Cortada -- James W.
