Abstract:
This study was launched from the importance and implications of the published fake news media, especially the so-called “New Media”, researchers found that the effects and consequences of the fake news in the era of digital communication is often more important than the fact that the news is false. As the news spread, it is difficult to reduce it even if the evidence established that it was false or fabricated. Many of us have been subjected to news models that was discovered after their deployment they were false, although its impact and effect remain as if it was honest and documented.
