Propaganda, spin, and untruths are nothing new in politics and public affairs. But, the scope and pervasive character of misinformation and fake news in what has been labeled the “post-truth” era is a uniquely alarming development, one with critical implications for democracy and public policy. Colleges and universities in the United States are working to adapt to this issue and it could be argued that media literacy education—with a focus on news media—has never been more important. This article considers the gravity and contours of post-truth dynamics and argues that U.S. intelligence studies programs and faculty have a natural and needed role to play in preparing students—and not just their students—to be adept in navigating the contemporary (fake) news and (mis) information environment. In addition to options for instruction, the article presents ideas on how faculty can engage community members and the broader public on these issues
