Combating Fake News in Media Videos

The first dataset of professionally-produced deceptive news videos

This research introduces FMNV, a novel dataset of high-quality, professionally-produced fake news videos from media outlets, addressing a critical gap in multimodal fake news detection.

  • First dataset focusing on media-published news videos rather than user-generated content
  • Contains videos with professional editing quality and high public engagement
  • Enables detection of politically or virally motivated fake news with greater societal impact
  • Advances multimodal security approaches for identifying sophisticated misinformation

This work is crucial for security professionals as it targets high-impact deception that poses significant societal harm, moving beyond amateur content to address professional misinformation at scale.
