### Dataset Summary |
|
a consolidated and cleaned up version of the opensources Fake News dataset |
|
Fake News Corpus (cite) comprises 8,529,090 individual articles, classified into 12 classes: reliable, unreliable, political, bias, fake, conspiracy, |
|
rumor clickbait, junk science, satire, hate and unknown. The articles were scraped between the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018 from various |
|
news websites, totaling 647 distinct sources, collecting articles dating from various years leading to the 2016 US elections and the year after. |
|
Documents were classified based on their source, based on the curated website list provided by opensources.co using a leading to a |
|
high imbalanced class distribution. |
|
|
|
This consolidated and cleaned Fake News Corpus Dataset is a refined and enhanced version of the "opensources.co Fake News dataset". |
|
This dataset, is a valuable resource for research and analysis in the domain of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news detection. |
|
|
|
The oroginal Fake News Corpus comprises a vast collection of 8,529,090 individual articles, categorized into 12 distinct classes: reliable, unreliable, political, bias, fake, conspiracy, |
|
rumor clickbait, junk science, satire, hate and unknown. |
|
|
|
The articles within this dataset were systematically gathered by the original authors through web scraping activities |
|
conducted between the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018. |
|
These articles were sourced from a diverse range of news websites, resulting in a compilation from 647 distinct online sources. |
|
|
|
Documents were classified based on their source, using a curated website list provided by opensources.co, |
|
a crowdsourced platform for tracking online information sources. Their proposed source classification method, was based on six criteria: |
|
- Title and Domain name analysis, |
|
- “About Us” analysis, |
|
- source or study mentioning, |
|
- writing style analysis, |
|
- aesthetic analysis and social media analysis. |
|

After extensive data cleaning and duplicate removal we retain 5,915,569 records |

### Personal and Sensitive Information |

|
## Considerations for Using the Data |
|
|
|
|
|
### Social Impact of Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
### Discussion of Biases |
|
|
|
|
|
### Other Known Limitations |
|
|
|
The dataset was not manually filtered, therefore some of the labels might not be correct and some of the URLs might not point to the actual articles but other pages on the website. However, because the corpus is intended for use in training machine learning algorithms, those problems should not pose a practical issue. |
|
|
|
Additionally, when the dataset will be finalised (as for now only about 80% was cleaned and published), I do not intend to update it, therefore it might quickly become outdated for other purposes than content-based algorithms. However, any contributions are welcome! |
