FAKE NEWS BETWEEN ARTEFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND CREDIBILITY

Abstract

Today’s media appearance is shifted more than ever towards the web

dimension of the social interactions. This creates new factors of the

environment and establishes the need for an adequate reaction from both

the traditional printed and electronic issues, and the online forms of

journalistic expression. We are witnessing the escalation of the so called

“fake news”. It is not so much a consequence of the public’s

imagination, but the intensified online interaction, the digitalisation and

the global development of Internet. The presence of the subject in the

media agenda and the secondary analysis of some publicly available

statistical data outline a number of problems.
