Abstract
Fake news is one of the most crucial and spreadable disease the world is facing now due to the advancement of communication technology. Especially in India, which is a religiously rich country can be seen to getting distorted because of the fake news framed against Islam, creating a communal imbalance between Hindus and Muslims. The study tried to examine such fake news content from a fact checking website, ALT news and found out the reality behind them as well as the mode through which it was disseminated. It was evidently found that news reports from new media sites in form of short video clips uploaded in YouTube, Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook and reports from digital newspaper are framing Muslim community in a negative way to incite violence against them. The reports shows that Twitter post from verified accounts specially handled by right wing party workers on false claims are immediately spread and accepted without prior fact checking which shows how political party can misuse the media and can shape the mindset of the consumers. Thus, it’s important to understand the nature of media, its power of spreading misinformation to mass and motive behind disseminating this kind of information, thus it’s suggested to scrutinize these kinds of reports before forwarding them further.
