Abstract

'Fake News' continues to undermine trust in modern journalism and politics. Despite continued efforts to study fake news, results have been conflicting. Previous attempts to analyse and combat fake news have largely focused on distinguishing fake news from truth, or differentiating between its various sub-types (such as propaganda, satire, misinformation, etc.) This paper conducts a linguistic and stylistic analysis of fake news, focusing on variation between various news topics. It builds on related work identifying features from discourse and linguistics in deception detection by analysing five distinct news topics: Economy, Entertainment, Health, Science, and Sports. The results emphasize that linguistic features vary between credible and deceptive news in each domain and highlight the importance of adapting classification tasks to accommodate variety-based stylistic and linguistic differences in order to achieve better real-world performance.
