This article investigates the technological preconditions, socio-economic contexts and creative manufacturing processes of fake news as a specific form of public disinformation in the nineteenth and twentieth century. While examining the crucial role of media critique during the formative years of a rapidly professionalizing journalism, it analyzes the varieties of fakes against the backdrop of transforming medial contexts, including the emerging popular press, early film, and radio, which form constitutive parts of our modern media system. Fakes question the production methods and distribution standards of news as well as their criteria of verification and reliability. Exploring the relation of facts and fictions, they finally set the scene for a new type of journalism around the turn of the century.
