The fight against fake news is not just being waged by Google, Facebook and big media companies. They are joined in the battle by academics and data scientists, like Georgia Tech's Eric Gilbert and Tanushree Mitra, who started work on the subject years before bogus news stories were suspected of helping sway the 2016 presidential election.
