Fake news is false or misleading information presented as news.
|
|
|
|
|
It often has the aim of damaging the reputation of a person or entity, or making money through advertising revenue.
|
|
|
|
|
However, the term does not have a fixed definition, and has been applied more broadly to include any type of false information,
|
|
|
|
|
including unintentional and unconscious mechanisms, and also by high-profile individuals to apply to any news unfavourable
|
|
|
|
|
to their personal perspectives.
