Abstract: В статье представлен обзор ключевых зарубежных исследований фейковых новостей. Работы, посвященные фейковым новостям, зачатую противоречивы и приходят к противоположным выводам. В литературе отсутствует единое определение данного понятия. Оценки общественной опасности фейковых новостей, на которых сфокусирована эта статья, также неоднозначны.

With the expansion of the space of online communications and the growth of their social significance, it seems relevant to study the attitude to fake publications, which not only distort the facts, but also generate negative consequences in relation to various aspects of activity. In this regard, theoretical and practical relevance is gained by the study of possibilities to counter fakes, forming, first of all, the ability to identify false information and distinguish it in the flow of news messages among young people as the main consumer of social networking content. The goal of this article is to present the results of an empirical study of the media practices of student audience of Smolensk and their attitude to fake news in social networks. In the course of the study it was determined that the media consumption practices of the regional student audience correspond to national trends: preference of Internet resources, and among them — social networks as sources of news information. At the same time, the goals of using social networks and thematic preferences of students are related not only to the current media agenda, but also to involvement in the educational process and leisure activities, which also reflects the all-Russian characteristics of the media behavior of young people. The study revealed an ambiguous role of online comments in the process of fact-checking a news publication and forming an opinion about the credibility of the news publication. We found that despite a proper understanding of the essential features of fake news and the consequences of its replication in the media, the behavioral impact of fake news was stronger than the impact of real news. The study also revealed that the majority of the regional student audience of social networks demonstrates susceptibility to fake news and has difficulty recognizing it.

The article deals with the problem of perception of false (fake) information by mass audience, especially by students. Fake information today is similar to viruses that instantly &quot;infect&quot; the mass of recipients. A separate category of fake information is fake news, the worst consequence of which is real actions of people based on unreliable information that does not correspond to the facts of objective reality. Students are an active social group and the main consumers of information of social networks where fakes are mainly circulated. Fake news is a product of the post-truth era, characterized by the state of society when the truth becomes those facts and situations that the public believes in. The paper analyses the socio-psychological factors that influence the perception of fake information by student youth. Authors highlights the following socio-psychological factors: social attitudes, cognitive distortions, trust issues and emotional intelligence. The structure of social attitudes is considered and the conclusion is made on the basis of cognitive theories that fake news influencing the affective component of social attitudes changes these attitudes. Cognitive distortions such as the Dunning-Kruger effect, affect heuristics, and confirmation bias play a significant role in this process. The authors conclude that the low level of trust actualizes the problem of trust fake news in Russian society. Authers found that students believe false information more than true information, they are unable to distinguish deception. They use the intuition when try to understand if the information is fake. Emotional intelligence does not directly influence competence in recognizing fake news but influences criticality in assessing one's ability to recognize it. Further study of the issue should consider IQ and EQ indicators for developing scientific and practical recommendations to reduce trust in fake news.

Introduction. Interest in the problem of false (fake) news has increased significantly in the situation of the coronavirus pandemic, when the flow of false information considered as an obstacle to the implementation of measures to combat the pandemic itself and its consequences. The authors aim to study the existing works devoted to the analysis of the construction and recognition of false news about COVID-19, paying special attention to the procedures of fact-checking-process of verifying the accuracy of the information contained in the message. The novelty of the author’s approach lies in the use of a content analysis of the fact-checking resource to identify communication technologies for constructing fake news about the coronavirus.Methodology and sources. As a theoretical framework, authors used the information model of communication by Claude Shannon, structuring communication as a process of information transmission and fixing the possibility of noise (distortion) in various parts of this process. The empirical basis of the study was a fact-checking resource that specializes in identifying fakes about the coronavirus (47 units of analysis were considered for the period from March to May 2020).Results and discussion. In the result of the research, specific communication technologies of purposeful construction of false news were identified – distortions in the communication channel, distortions in the message code (content), distortions in the message source. We also identified the types of distortions associated with the content of communication – based on the creation of false content, recoding information (giving it a new interpretation), editing the original. Different frequency of application of these technologies for a given volume of analysis units were been recorded, as well a s the predominance of the technology of distortion of the communication channel.Conclusion. The authors draw a conclusion about the importance and relevance of the topic of constructing fake news in the situation of the ongoing COVID -19 pandemic, demonstrate the productivity of using fact-checking resources to identify various communicative technologies for constructing false messages, which creates new prospects for recognizing and countering them.
