This paper explores how news media define and frame fake news, thus orienting public perceptions of fake news in terms of problem, causality, responsibilities, and solutions. It first maps the news discourse on fake news through semantic network analysis of 1,646 articles published in 2017–2018 (when the term reached its peak) and 2021–2022. It then analyzes the definitions and frames of fake news in a sample of 122 articles representative of the clusters identified in the previous step of our analysis
