Fake News : How to Detect and Combat Disinformation on Social Media

The general public's trust in key institutions (NGOs, companies, government, and media), has decreased across the globe. While there is a surge of misinformation exploiting public fear and uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of fake news has adversely left a gap in other key economic sectors, including politics, financial services, and business communication.

 

The overall proportion of people who trust news media in the United States was found to be at its lowest (29%). Trust in the UK news media (28%), although not at its lowest, had the most significant fall (-12%).
