Abstract:
“Fake news” has become a common buzzword in public, political, and scientific debates. Whereas the definition of the term and its political consequences are often highlighted, this paper seeks to provide an overview of the development, the most common dimensions of fake news and their mode of action. Research shows that fake news can trigger and act in conjunction with numerous effects that influence recipients. A comprehensive overview of these effects is given in this paper.
