Book Chapter: Fake News and Fictional News

TitleFake News and Fictional News
Authors
Issue Date22-Dec-2023
Abstract

A difficulty in combatting fake news is that it is not entirely clear what fake news is. This chapter provides an overview of recent definitions, questioning the essential role they assign to the beliefs of fake news consumers. We offer an alternative definition, which raises questions about how fake news is to be distinguished from fictional news (e.g., news satire or parody). We propose that the categories of fake news and fictional news in fact overlap, although works of fictional news are members of artistic genres while works that are merely fake news are not.
