Annotation
This paper provides a parallel reading of Erdogan and Trump in order to highlight the extent to which these two leaders have engaged—actively and effectively—in discrediting not only journalistic content (called ‘fake news’ or ‘treason’), but also the very institutions of journalism, institutions that are key agents in international and national power geometries.
