Fake news is a type of social hacking designed to change a reader’s point of view, the effect of which may lead them to change their opinion about an individual, an organization, or a belief, and make misinformed decisions. With the advent of multimedia editing tools, fake news typically contains multiple types of media such as text, image, video and audio. Media-rich fake news can be easily made to look like a real one. Further, fakes news is prone to abrupt dissemination through increasing accessibility of the internet and online social media outlets. Although there has been a significant progress in multimedia security and forensics research, the modern web and social media avenues for creation and sharing of multimedia content poses fresh challenges related to fake content identification and mitigation. This workshop aims to bring forward further advances in the area of fake multimedia in terms of its proactive identification and the prevention of spread of such content.
We invite latest and high-quality papers presenting or addressing issues related to media-rick fake news, but not limited to:
- Media-rich fake email detection and prevention.
- Media-rich fake news identification over social media.
