Abstract

Social media has become a platform where fake news is abundant. This issue has shown itself effectively yet again during the COVID-19 pandemic. The WHO has named this information pollution in the COVID-19 period as “infodemic.” Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, access to authentic news has become more important than ever before in 2020. Within this context, verified news on teyit.org and dogrulukpayi.com in 2020 were analyzed. Besides, text analysis was conducted on 161 items of news originating in Twitter, and the most-commonly-used words have been found through analysis. The research suggests that news items on topics related to the agenda, which the public feels a need to be informed about, are more likely to be fake news and that Twitter, used broadly by the public to receive news, is preferred as it is easier and faster to spread fake news.
