Abstract
The news fakes are issued with the intention of misleading, manipulating personal decisions, discredit or exalt an institution, entity or person or obtain economic gains or political revenue. They are related to propaganda and post-truth. Fake news, by presenting falsehoods as if they were real, are considered a threat to the credibility of serious media and professional journalists. The dissemination of false news in order to influence the behavior of a community has antecedents since antiquity, but given that its scope is directly related to the means of reproduction of information specific to each historical stage, its area and speed of propagation was scarce in the historical stages prior to the appearance of the mass media.
