FakeNewsNet is a research dataset for fake news detection, with minimal CSV files of news samples from PolitiFact and GossipCop plus Python scripts to download full article text and Twitter engagement data. It is intended for academic research on misinformation detection.
Use cases
- download a fake news detection dataset for research
- collect news articles and tweet data for misinformation studies
- train machine learning models to classify fake vs real news
- benchmark fake news detection algorithms
- get labeled news samples from PolitiFact and GossipCop
- study social media sharing of fake news
When to choose
- you need a labeled fake vs real news benchmark for ML research
- you want news article text plus Twitter engagement data
- you are studying misinformation propagation on social media
When to avoid
- you need the complete raw dataset without running collection scripts yourself
- you cannot obtain Twitter API keys
- you need a production-ready misinformation detection service rather than a dataset
