HoaxItaly: a collection of Italian disinformation and fact-checking stories shared on Twitter in 2019 (2001.10926v1)

Abstract: We released over 1 million tweets shared during 2019 and containing links to thousands of news articles published on two classes of Italian outlets: (1) disinformation websites, i.e. outlets which have been repeatedly flagged by journalists and fact-checkers for producing low-credibility content such as false news, hoaxes, click-bait, misleading and hyper-partisan stories; (2) fact-checking websites which notably debunk and verify online news and claims. The dataset, which includes also title and body for approximately 37k news articles, is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ PGVDHX.
