Fake news has become a common occurrence all over the world, and as a result, it has a significant impact not just on people but also on our society. Fake news is becoming more pervasive in our daily lives as a direct result of the rise in popularity of social media platforms, and it can even be harmful to institutions and countries. The purpose of the study is to better the phenomena of fake news on social media in order to guarantee the authenticity of news in the sphere of media and communication. This goal will be accomplished based on an analysis of various examples. Even while it is difficult to attain in modern times, particularly in the age of information, in actuality, it calls for the concerted effort of the audience, the government, information producers, and social media platforms. In addition to that, it is anticipated that this research will serve as a reference for upcoming media practitioners and academic researchers in related fields.
