Abstract

Alcott and Gentzkow ‘s definition (2017) has appeared to serve as a benchmark in the literature, as it acknowledges the online nature of “fake news” in its current iteration. While fake news is hardly new as a concept (Darnton 2017, who cites 6th century CE propaganda against Emperor Justinian), its online nature, speed of delivery and intentionality are heightened to dimensions that require a broader definition than in the past.
