NEXT STEPS
FOUR PROPOSITIONS FOR THE STUDY OF FAKE NEWS
1. Not an unitary fake news phenomenon but
different shades of fakeness.
The case of Russian information campaigning
online.
2. False knowledge claims are not born fake
news; they are inseparable from the publics,
platforms and infrastructures that make them
possible.
Mapping the circulation and publics of fake news
online.
3. Successful fabrications are not limited to the
“news” format; different formats perform well
on different platforms.
The case of memes as vectors of post-truth politics
on Facebook.
4. Difference between ‘real’ and ‘fake’ news not
just about claims being made; they are
underpinned by different production histories.
The techno-commercial infrastructure of fake
news.

False knowledge claims are not born fake news; they are inseparable from the publics, platforms and infrastructures that make them possible. Mapping the circulation and publics of fake news online. 3. Successful fabrications are not limited to the “news” format; different formats perform well on different platforms. The case of memes as vectors of post-truth politics on Facebook. 4. Difference between ‘real’ and ‘fake’ news not just about claims being made; they are underpinned by different production histories. The techno-commercial infrastructure of fake news.
