The great openness witnessed by the Algerian media space, thanks to the wide spread
of new media for information and communication, and their use by citizen journalists,
contributed to a large flow of media contents through social networks whose creators try to
cover events and convey the daily concerns of citizens. Television channels adopt these
news stories, broadcast them and deal with them in their news bulletins. However, these
news stories often contain misinformation that falls under the framework of fake news
published intentionally or unintentionally
In both cases, the professional journalist finds himself forced to verify the validity of
the news circulated through social networks and to follow a specific strategy to deal with the
fabricated news flowing through these networks. This is what we will try to address through
this study by applying the descriptive survey method and the interview tool with a sample of
20 journalists from the various sections of Algeria International Channel.
