ABSTRACT
Clearly, to date, the most publicized set of examples of “fake news” deal with the multiple events that have occurred over a number of years; and, most recently, the events leading to and since the United States 2016 presidential election.
There should be an increasing focus on strategies to identify the intrusions that we might label fake news and the development of techniques to identify and thus defeat such practices. Corporations such as Facebook and Yahoo have been investing in research to address these problems.
However, because there is no clear set of methodologies that can be employed to eliminate this problem, we will try in this section to identify some partial approaches to determining the validity of news and to suggest certain measures in order to identify fake news.
