ABSTRACT
Law is a system of rules or conduct over time for a jurisdiction. If an activity breaks the law, it is by definition illegal. For the broadcast journalist media law usually concerns defamation, contempt and copyright/intellectual property. Ethics comes up more and more in editorial decisions now, whether they are decision-making meetings, or just conversations among journalists. Most regulation aims to ensure decency, fairness and impartiality and to support the basic democratic concept of freedom of expression. Fakes News is created by authors who know it is fiction and it is often designed or presented to appear as if it is from a traditional news source. A study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that false news spreads more rapidly on the social network Twitter than real news does. Fair dealing for criticism, review or quotation is allowed for any type of copyright work.
