(2013) Ethics of media, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
What are the facts that reach the status of 'shared facts"? Through which mechanisms do they become recognized, accepted as facts? "Reality", writes Lyotard, "is a status of the referent that results from the effectuation of procedures of fact-establishment" (Lyotard 1988: 32). Such procedures are defined by agreed protocols and their effectuation is entrusted to specific institutions. I would call such institutions the "reality-pronouncing institutions".
