In the age of digital media, fake news is a serious problem because it spreads misinformation and harms individuals, organizations, and even entire nations which is a challenging aspect. This study proposes a machine learning approach for detecting fake news. In the proposed approach, a categorization model is developed with four different types of machine learning algorithms, evaluating the content and aesthetic components of news stories. The performance of the proposed model is analyzed by using a large dataset of real and fake news articles and the results show that it outperforms many existing systems. The proposed findings demonstrate the potential of machine learning techniques, such as logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, and passive aggressive algorithms to address the fake news detection challenges.
