Summary/Abstract: Most of us meet mass media almost every day. We search for information, accept and share them daily. In post-factual time, it is more difficult to focus on and choose from lot of available information, especially when there are various forms of fake news, which some of them are produced strategically and systemically. The Media Manipulation Initiative comes with research focused on the definition of fake news, categorization and strategies of intervention.
