This project provides a collection of over a million news articles from the Times of India website, published between late 2017 and June 2018. It identifies articles specifically reporting on WhatsApp fake news incidents in India, a significant concern at the time. The dataset is useful for researchers and data journalists interested in understanding the spread and impact of fake news.

No commits in the last 6 months.

Use this if you are a researcher or data journalist studying fake news trends, media coverage of misinformation, or news article characteristics in the Indian context during 2017-2018.

Not ideal if you are looking for a dataset of fake news articles themselves, as this dataset focuses on news reports about fake news incidents.
