In this book, Morten Bay provocatively questions whether or not truth in media is lost and, furthermore, whether humans can perceive objective reality or, as many neuroscientists and philosophers now believe, we all perceive different realities constructed through predictive processing. As affective polarization continues to render American democracy increasingly dysfunctional - a situation largely inflamed by media - Bay calls for a cultural shift in which these two conditions are reconciled. Drawing on political philosophy, this book presents an ethics that holds up responsible media conduct as a democratic duty of all media users. This shift in ethical frameworks carries with it different implications for a variety of audiences, including individuals, media platforms and corporations, media practitioners and journalists, media studies scholars, and society more broadly. Each stakeholder involved will need to reconsider their approach to media and reality - individuals must accept that everyone's perceptions of reality are different; platforms and corporations must cease irresponsible practices that dissociate realities and stoke division; practitioners and journalists must develop more nuanced epistemologies beyond 'The Truth', and scholars must redefine media by foregrounding epistemology, pluralism, and physicality in media theory. Collectively, Bay argues, we must come to a new understanding of reality as a plurality of realities - a plureality.

There is a long history of immigration from Eastern Europe to the United States that began in the 1880s. Since that time, significant diaspora communities have developed in the United States. The members of these groups have developed businesses, participated in their local communities, attended colleges and universities, and shared their culture. Even with such active participation and growth in American life, little is known about the individual community members. Often these communities are forgotten within the fabric of American life. Navigating Education as a Forgotten Immigrant tells the stories of these community members.Each chapter shares the story of a member of the Eastern European community living in the United States. Some stories are from the perspective of a first-generation immigrant, while others are from second-generation immigrants. Their stories highlight their commitment to life in America, the challenges they face, their evolution of identity, and what it means to live in two worlds simultaneously.
