Data Collection Method. The method in this article uses a qualitative approach with the type of narrative review.
Data Analysis. The analysis was carried out by synthesizing the literature and case studies from several reports discussing the impact of fake news spread in the community.
Results and Discussions. Information institutions need to take an active role in improving the conditions of society through knowledge-based development and information sharing processes, to create a community that is capable in using information and in evaluating the credibility and suitability of information sources.
