I've skimmed this thread, though not read it in detail, so I may have missed some points. (Also note that I'm not from the US, so, while Trump's election may well indirectly affect the UK, it's not quite like Brexit. [Though if I'm being entirely objective, Trump's election could lead to world instability - and possibly wars. Brexit is more likely to cause UK and possibly EU economic instability; but less likely to lead to a war]
HOwever, my understanding of the phrase "fake news" was the type referred to in https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/how-macedonia-became-a-global-hub-fo... rather than selective reporting to suit the needs of the paper etc., nor the filtering by people based on their personal beliefs. [There was also a section on BBC Radio 4's "From our own correspondent" http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qjlq/episodes/player - it's the one called "Real or Fake". There is also a World service of that programme, so may be available outside the UK;.
I did see someone else had also recommended the article in the Observer Newspaper 10 days ago. Well worth reading.
As to academic research - it's quite soon for that, however, have you looked for work on Scotland's Independence Referendum?

This burns me because I fell for the professor blacklist story (had some people I knew on it) even after I had hunted down all the references, and the organization that started it (I still don't even know if they are real).
Just wondering if we are overlooking outright lying? https://theintercept.com/2016/12/09/a-clinton-fan-manufactured-fake-news-tha... The issue is mushrooming online with sites now dedicated to 'debunking' fake news as well. At the same time there is implicit trust of search engines like Google, while they actually work to camouflage them. http://www.theverge.com/2016/12/6/13850230/fake-news-sites-google-search-fac...

The concept of "fake news" is very complex, ranging from satirical to misleading to malicious content and, when looking globally, covers not just social media, but SMS and FTF communication. Much like humor, where one person's hilarious joke might be deeply offensive to another, a good portion of "fake news" revolves around how societies and peoples with different backgrounds interpret and construct meaning from a shared set of information. Paul Linebarger's 1948 book "Psychological Warfare" is a powerful read into the roots and methodology of inorganic constructionism of the kind that underlies much of the hundred shades of gray that we today frequently label as "fake news." This is also why purely technological solutions will always struggle with this complex middle ground that constitutes a large portion of "fake news." Instead, "information literacy" coupled with technological assistance offer perhaps the most robust path forward.
You can see more in my latest pieces:
