ABSTRACT
For contemporary society, also known as the information society, information is considered to be its most valuable asset. But even at the heart of this new society, the sheer volume of information triggers a number of problems. Freedom in communication, made possible through the use of the internet and social networks, associated with the lack of hierarchy in the production and dissemination on the internet, enhances the emergence of a flood of information that hinders the ability of their users to analyze and critique. Problems such as post-truth, fake-news and misinformation are becoming increasingly common and raise questions regarding the quality of the members of this society, since opinion formation is directly influenced by the quality of information available on the Internet and social networks. With this in mind, it is considered opportune to conduct a bibliographic research in order to investigate actions aimed at identifying fake-news in the context of post-truth, as well as combating its production and dissemination, since at the present time when If the information society is found, there are potential problems related to the large volume of information available.
