Special Issue: Media Manipulation, Fake News, and Misinformation in the 
Asia-Pacific Region. Available at: https://jceasia.org/

Guest editor: Tim Dwyer, University of Sydney ((timothy.dwyer /at/ sydney.edu.au))

This Special Issue investigates aspects of the shifting appetite for 
regulating media-tech platforms in the Asia-Pacific on the back of a 
series of platform scandals in recent years.

The issue brings together original articles which delve into broader 
misinformation and disinformation campaigns in a number of guises and 
national settings. The contributions add weight to the accumulating 
empirical and theoretical resources that are now available to indicate 
how information manipulation conducted on intermediary platforms is 
undermining democratic processes on an unprecedented scale. 
Algorithmically mediated and computationally generated, this 
manipulation is inevitably working against the public interest in the 
provision of transparent and accurate information.
