Over the last few years, social media has expanded to become a key
platform for news dissemination and circulation. Nations,
governments, organisations and societies are now coming to terms
with the unpredictable and debilitating consequences of fake news.
The propagation of fake news has been linked to an increase in
measles cases, surges in youth crimes, the spread of
pseudo-science, compromised national security, and more. Some even
perceive it as a global threat to democratic systems around the
world. In this book, the authors examine factors influencing the
spread of fake news, and suggest ways to combat it by exploring the
key elements which enable and facilitate this phenomenon.
