The rampant spread of misinformation on online platforms has prompted extensive research into effective fake news detection methods. This paper conducts a comprehensive review of various techniques utilized in this domain, with a specific emphasis on natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and deep learning models. Central to these methods is the meticulous analysis of source credibility and contextual information. By scrutinizing the origins of news stories and considering the surrounding context, these techniques strive to differentiate between deceptive narratives and genuine content. NLP techniques play a pivotal role, enabling the extraction of subtle linguistic patterns that aid in the identification of misleading information. Moreover, this paper underscores the critical importance of factual verification in ensuring accurate detection. Factual verification involves cross-referencing information with reliable sources, confirming the authenticity of claims made in news stories. By integrating the insights from source credibility analysis, contextual understanding, and meticulous factual verification with the capabilities of NLP and advanced machine learning models, these techniques provide a robust frameworks for tackling the challenges posed by fake news.
