Abstract:

In the wake of the panic over fake news that followed the 2016 US presidential election, librarians and other information professionals are being urged to “take leadership in the current crisis” (Jacobson, 2017: 24). The response from the profession has been to reaffirm the core values of librarianship and to hold up traditional services as a means for combating misinformation. The problem is that these solutions are offered in the absence of a full understanding of the real danger of misinformation, which is “not just [that] misinformation is ‘out there,’” but “what misinformation does to our

Misinformation proliferates in the online sphere, with evident impacts on the political and social realms, influencing democratic discourse and posing risks to public health and safety. The corporate world is also a prime target for fake news dissemination.

Concerns about public misinformation in the United States—ranging from politics to science—are growing. Here, we provide an overview of how and why citizens become (and sometimes remain) misinformed about science. Our discussion focuses specifically on misinformation among individual citizens. However, it is impossible to understand individual information processing and acceptance without taking into account social networks, information ecologies, and other macro-level variables that provide important social context. Specifically, we show how being misinformed is a function of a person’s abili

Social media is omnipresent in many lives, and its popularity has made it a prime delivery method for misinformation. This problem is widely recognized, even by social media companies. The debate rages on as to what the right approach should be to combat misinformation; some suggest removal of misinformation; others suggest labeling misinformation. Therefore, it is important to understand how labeling misinformation may interact with individual differences to affect recall of what is and is not misinformation.

During the 2016 US presidential election campaign, interest in fake news surged among political elites, media, and mass publics. This raises the question of how general awareness of fake news affects information processing by citizens. We address this deficit by theorizing about the consequences of awareness of fake news for receptivity to misinformation. We hypothesize that individuals induced to be more aware of fake news will be less likely to update beliefs and attitudes in response to information from news media.

I de senere år har politisk misinformation, populært kaldet fake news, nydt stor bevågenhed. Det rejser spørgsmålet, hvorvidt denne opmærksomhed i sig selv påvirker, hvordan borgere reagerer på politiske nyheder. Vi adresserer dette spørgsmål ved først at udvikle teoretiske forventninger om, hvordan opmærksomhed på politisk misinformation påvirker borgeres modtagelighed over for politisk information. Vi tester disse teoretiske forventninger i et præregistreret surveyeksperiment, som vi udfører i samarbejde med et dansk nyhedsmedie. Resultaterne viser, modsat den teoretiske forventning, at resp

Abstract:

Fake news, portrayed as accurate but actually false or misleading, spreads through fabricated stories, altered media, and automated programs. This study explores the dissemination of fake news among Malaysian university students using the Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT). Data from 111 participants reveal how personal motivations, as identified by UGT, influence the spread of misinformation. The study highlights the link between individual motivations and fake news propagation by understanding students' media consumption reasons. These findings offer practical insights for policymakers and

Abstract:

The rapid spread of misinformation on social media platforms, especially Twitter, presents a challenge in the digital age. Traditional fact-checking struggles with the volume and speed of misinformation, while existing detection systems often focus solely on linguistic features, ignoring factors like source credibility, user interactions, and context. Current automated systems also lack the accuracy to differentiate between genuine and fake news, resulting in high rates of false positives and negatives. This study investigates the creation of a Twitter bot for detecting fake news using deep le

Fake news and misinformation are a menace to the public sphere, democracy, and society with sometimes irreversible consequences. Journalists in the new era seem not to be able or willing to play their traditional role of gatekeeper and social media have made the problem even more intense. The need for truth is unnegotiable in modern democracies. Nevertheless, non-true stories and misinformation dominate media outlets with severe consequences and negative impacts on societies all over the world.

Fake news is a big problem today, especially on social media, where misinformation spreads quickly. To solve this, researchers use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to detect fake news. This study explores different AI models, including BERT, ALBERT, and ROBERT, which help analyze text and classify news as real or fake. Advanced deep learning methods work better than traditional machine learning because they understand language more deeply. Some methods also check reliable sources, analyze emotions in text, and use social network data to improve accuracy. However, there ar
