- ItemOpen AccessFake news, paradigm of fear & sustainability: Research report on climate fear(s).(In Search of Fearlessness Research Institute, 2019) Bell, SimonNews manipulation is now a much-discussed reality of the 21st century media ethics.

Dictionaries and encyclopedias, as well as common everyday speech reinforces this meaning of (definition) of fear.

IJFS is beginning with that linguistic (and cultural) limitation as well.
