  The Internet and social media have altered how individuals access news in the
age of instantaneous information distribution. While this development has
increased access to information, it has also created a significant problem: the
spread of fake news and information. Fake news is rapidly spreading on digital
platforms, which has a negative impact on the media ecosystem, public opinion,
decision-making, and social cohesion. Natural Language Processing(NLP), which
offers a variety of approaches to identify content as authentic, has emerged as
a potent weapon in the growing war against disinformation. This paper takes an
in-depth look at how NLP technology can be used to detect fake news and reveals
the challenges and opportunities it presents.
