I start by developing a characterization of fake news.\u00a0Next, I investigate direct and indirect bad effects of fake news. Among the\u00a0direct bad effects of fake news are obvious things like the inducement of false\u00a0or misleading beliefs in those who consume it. Less obviously, fake news also\u00a0has indirect effects on people who don\u2019t consume it. It can give people\u00a0misleading defeaters, decrease the reliability of one\u2019s sources, and affect the\u00a0modal environment of our beliefs, hence undermining their epistemic status. I\u00a0then zoom out to explore the indirect bad effects of fake news on our\u00a0epistemic environments in general. Fake news shifts more of the burden for\u00a0acquiring beliefs with positive epistemic status to our own cognitive agency,\u00a0thus making it harder for us to do well epistemically<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker:\u00a0Jeroen de Ridder<br \/>\nDate and Time: Thursday, December&nbsp;13th 2018, 17:00-18:30<br \/>\nVenue: ILLC Seminar Room F1.15, Science Park 107.<br \/>\nTitle:\u00a0Fake News Epistemology.<br \/>\nAbstract.
