Fake news has become part of the panorama of social networks and the Internet, due to its ability to camouflage itself as true information. His conception refers to the notion of post-truth which, according to the Oxford dictionary, is that "circumstance in which objective facts have less influence on the formation of public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief" this concept is similar to the sensationalism that occurs in the traditional media.
