Abstract: In recent years there has been a rise in fake news across the internet.This problem makes us ask ourselves how one can verify the veracity of claims inside a news article.Growth in social media platforms over the years has facilitated an enhancement in human communication.Platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are most ever-present in our lives and influence how we speak, think, act, and interact.The growth of fake news greatly impacts this phenomenon as it lowers one's trust in the content presented.Dangerous is also the fact that readers can be behaviorally and psychologically profiled to be served specially crafted content with the intention of changing one's opinion and action.One such example is related to the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign where fake news was a deciding factor in tipping the balance of power and outcome.It is hence of critical importance to develop tools that detect and combat such destructive content.This work focuses on fake news detection and analysis.
