The term 'fake news' may be relatively new, but the idea of presenting false information as a legitimate news story in an attempt to influence public opinion certainly isn't. Looking at the various ways in which people receive information and the risks of being manipulated by half-truths, rumours or lies, this volume considers what motivates those who create and disseminate fake news and asks what societies and individuals can do to spot and stop it.
