Overview: Dewey Defeats Truman.” “Hillary Clinton Adopts Alien Baby.” Fake news may have reached new notoriety since the 2016 US election, but it has been around a long time. Whether it was an error in judgment in a rush to publish election results in November, 1948, or a tabloid cover designed to incite an eye roll and a chuckle in June, 1993, fake news has permeated and influenced culture since the inception of the printed press. But now, when almost every press conference at the White House contains a declaration of the evils of “fake news,” evaluating information integrity and quality is more important than ever.
