Abstract: We released over 1 million tweets shared during 2019 and containing links to thousands of news articles published on two classes of Italian outlets: (1) disinformation websites, i.e. outlets which have been repeatedly flagged by journalists and fact-checkers for producing low-credibility content such as false news, hoaxes, click-bait, misleading and hyper-partisan stories; (2) fact-checking websites which notably debunk and verify online news and claims. The dataset, which includes also title and body for approximately 37k news articles, is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ PGVDHX.

News and Misinformation Consumption in Europe: A Longitudinal Cross-Country Perspective [49.1574468325115]
This study investigated information consumption in four European countries. It analyzed three years of Twitter activity from news outlet accounts in France, Germany, Italy, and the UK. Results indicate that reliable sources dominate the information landscape, although unreliable content is still present across all countries.

Machine-Made Media: Monitoring the Mobilization of Machine-Generated Articles on Misinformation and Mainstream News Websites [5.161088104035108]
We train a DeBERTa-based synthetic news detector and classify over 15.46 million articles from 3,074 misinformation and mainstream news websites. We find that between January 1, 2022, and May 1, 2023, the relative number of synthetic news articles increased by 57.3% on mainstream websites while increasing by 474% on misinformation sites.

Cross-lingual COVID-19 Fake News Detection [54.125563009333995]
We make the first attempt to detect COVID-19 misinformation in a low-resource language (Chinese) only using the fact-checked news in a high-resource language (English) We propose a deep learning framework named CrossFake to jointly encode the cross-lingual news body texts and capture the news content. Empirical results on our dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of CrossFake under the cross-lingual setting.

Misinfo Belief Frames: A Case Study on Covid & Climate News [49.979419711713795]
We propose a formalism for understanding how readers perceive the reliability of news and the impact of misinformation. We introduce the Misinfo Belief Frames (MBF) corpus, a dataset of 66k inferences over 23.5k headlines. Our results using large-scale language modeling to predict misinformation frames show that machine-generated inferences can influence readers' trust in news headlines.

Where Are the Facts? Searching for Fact-checked Information to Alleviate the Spread of Fake News [9.68145635795782]
We propose a novel framework to search for fact-checking articles, which address the content of an original tweet (that may contain misinformation) posted by online users. The search can directly warn fake news posters and online users about misinformation, discourage them from spreading fake news, and scale up verified content on social media. Our framework uses both text and images to search for fact-checking articles, and achieves promising results on real-world datasets.

A number of fact-checking initiatives have been launched so far, both manual and automatic. An arguably more promising direction is to focus on fact-checking entire news outlets, which can be done in advance. We describe how we do this in the Tanbih news aggregator, which makes readers aware of what they are reading.
