Abstract
In recent years widespread rumors and fake news has given rise to many social and political problems. Most of the information today is acquired from digital sources. In Digital media it is difficult to assign accountability to the opinion due to which the data received cannot be authenticated. Lack of constant supervision has motivated the miscreants to spread fake information. Fake news articles that are planted over digital media shares important linguistic features such as immoderate usage of unconfirmed hyperbole and non-verified quotes. It is necessary to invent an automated mechanism to identify fake news and also to minimize its impact by restricting its spread. This survey comprehensively and systematically studies different methodologies in the detection of fake news in digital media. The survey identifies and specifies fundamental theories in Machine Learning, to facilitate and enhance the research of fake news detection. By understanding the different methodologies in fake news studies, we highlight some potential research gaps at the end of this survey.
