The new term "fake news", with extensive changes in communications infrastructures and the emergence of new media and subsequent changes in the structures and institutions of human societies, including politics and economics has become one of the controversial issues of public and academic fields related to journalism, media, communication, and culture in recent years. This Scientific term is used in public discussions to explain different phenomena which are not necessarily mean fake news. The lack of clear definition of the term -fake news- and cases that are typically confused with this scientific term makes it difficult to understand the harm and consequences of it and the possibility of adopting solutions to combat it. This research has identified the similar types with fake news by a comprehensive review of available scientific sources: Satire, Parody, Fabrication, Manipulation, Propaganda, Advertising, Hoax, Rumor, so to obtain indicators to compare and conceptually organize these media phenomena. 18 experts of news and media were interviewed. These indicators are "author", "editorial", "content" and "gender relationship". At the end of this study, based on the obtained indicators, the term fake news is explained and a complete table is made to clearly express the differences and similarities of all similar types with fake news..

Rumors are unofficial and invalid statements that create in several steps within communication systems, since information transmitted from a person to another, so there is huge chance for mutilate information. (Gloria 2015). Today rumors in social messengers, for example Telegram, are very rampant and on the other side, Telegram users and people believed this rumors easily and even retransmit that rumors. One of the main reasons that users interests in diffusing rumors on social messengers is that they are not adhere to Gothenburg - Written communication principles and so they go from first Oral communication to second one. On the other side when audience does not convinced by official media (like national TV) and feels the event whole or partly doesn’t expose to him (by TV policy officers or reporter). So they lose trust in official news agencies and therefore try to get information from other ways like social messengers, resulting that audiences use news and rumors (planned or unplanned) that diffuse in social messengers as a source of information. In this thesis researcher wants to investigate if national (government or state) media inform audiences truly, can we still observe rumor transmission and retransmission on society?
