Answer:

Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional news media or online social media. The false information is often caused by reporters paying sources for stories, an unethical practice called checkbook journalism. Digital news has brought back and increased the usage of fake news, or yellow journalism The news is then often reverberated as misinformation in social media but occasionally finds its way to the mainstream media as well. Fake news is written and published usually with the intent to mislead in order to damage an agency, entity, or person, and/or gain financially or politically, often dishonest, or outright fabricated headlines to increase readership. Clickbait stories and headlines earn advertising revenue from this activity.

NEWS are the facts collected from various places extending North, East, West, South. There shouldn’t be any imaginary content in the news. NEWS should depict the actual scene. Fake news are obtained from rivalry or opponents of another publisher, unfit employees, unethical work background.

Any news should be cross verified and then only published. A fake news will damage the name of the organization and also will mislead the readers. People who found the news to be fake will stop buying that particular news paper publisher.
