The paper outlines some of the challenges that PR experts are facing in their work in the so-called "Fake News Era", dominated by misinformation and the need for verifying the facts published in social and traditional media. The main thesis of Gьnter Bentele's theory of public trust is used to frame the basic idea about the lack of trust in the media in general. Some of his conclusions drawn in the 1990s, are similar to the results summarized today by two reports: Cision's "State of the Media Report" (2017) and Edelman's "Trust Barometer" (2017). The paper also presents a few case studies, related to the distribution of fake news that damage the prestige and the reputation of the affected companies (Pepsi Co, New Balance, Ferrero Croup). It poses the question about the extent to which we can talk about corporate communication management and strategies in the post-truth era and whether it would be more appropriate to include a Rumor Management strategy in the corporate communication strategy arsenal when a corporation needs to react to a piece of fake news in the post-truth era.

Business economists face increasing challenges at this political and policymaking juncture. "Experts" and economists are out of favor with the public and with certain policymakers. In response, business economists should be frank about our failures and the limits of our models. We can then be ready to defend truth against falsehood. In our defense of fact-based decision making, we must first assert that data matter, and the unbiased integrity of that data matters. We must support and defend the work of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Census Bureau. Business economists must be story tellers, transmitting historical memory of past crises, of past attacks on our profession and data sources (such President Nixon's targeting of the Bureau of Labor Statistics).

Have we entered a 'post-truth' era? This article is an attempt to answer this question by (a) offering an explication of the notion of 'post-truth' from recent discussions, (b) deriving a testable implication from that explication, to the effect that we should expect to see decreasing information effects – that is, differences between actual preferences and estimated, fully informed preferences – on central political issues over time and then (c) putting the relevant narrative to the test by way of counterfactual modelling, using election year data for the period of 2004–2016 from the American National Election Studies' Times Series Study. The implication in question turns out to be consistent with the data: at least in a US context, we do see evidence of a decrease in information effects on key, political issues – immigration, same-sex adoption and gun laws, in particular – in the period 2004–2016. This offers some novel, empirical evidence for the 'post-truth' narrative.

Social media is one of the new media which in addition to having a positive impact as technological advancement. The ease and speed of interacting and disseminating information is the main attraction of this service. In addition to having a positive impact, social media also has a negative impact as a medium for disseminating information. The negative side of technological progress through social media creates a new phenomenon in the midst of this digital era called post-truth. Post-truth as a new era is marked by the exclusion of truth and putting forward emotions. In simple terms, post-truth can be interpreted that people are looking for justification rather than the truth. This paper aims to find out how social media literacy is in the post-truth era. Social media literacy is a person's skill in finding, selecting, and applying information sources on social media. These skills are needed to remain able to carry out social media activities wisely and safely so that audiences are critical of the media as well as determine the information needed from the media. In addition, the government's efforts through the regulation of the ITE Law are an important way to combat post-truth on social media. ; Media sosial merupakan salah satu media baru yang selain memberikan dampak positif sebagai suatu kemajuan teknologi.

The paper aims to examine post-truth, considering its theoretical aspects and following the communication grounds for its appearance. The paper suggests that the Post-truth Era is a result of algorithmically managed social interactions and the automation of communication. The Internet of Things, the ubiquitous media presence and the algorithmic power transform "The Age of Mechanical Reproduction" (Walter Benjamin) into "a Posttruth Era". In the digital world of the 21st century – a world completely fragmented into data and market segments, the media technologies not only reproduce and re-create reality, but also take the next step and create an entirely new reality. Based on the critical survey of various articles and theoretical approaches the paper identifies the problematic areas that could engender a future discussion, and draw attention to post-truth as a problem and its relevance to the modern world.

As a global epidemic of the social media age, COVID-19 has also resulted in an 'infodemic', which means the uncontrolled spreading of false information about the health situation. Spreading of health information is a special intersection point of the freedom of speech, freedom of science, and the fundamental right to life and health. The paper analyses the European and Hungarian legal framework for health communication from multiple perspectives. Regulatory challenges and solutions differ for professional health communication, commercial communication and health communication by laypeople. As with all forms of misinformation, private regulations of platform operators have a significant regulatory role to play in relation to health disinformation. As a result of the analysis, the paper provides a detailed regulatory map that also covers private regulation solutions and explores the factors that need to be considered when designing a comprehensive future regulation.
