An expert in Mass Communication, Professor Ralph Akinfeleye said that fake news which he said has been in existence for over 120 years can only be controlled, but not eliminated.
Professor Akinfeleye disclosed this in Abuja at the launch of a book written to honour his academic eminence.
Analyzing the book with the title, Journalism, Communication and Society, Professor Akinfeleye said the book carries the message of completeness.
“It talks about how journalism should be practised, it dealt with the areas of convergence, it dealt with the areas of journalism training, health communication and behavioural change communication as the title is journalism, communication and Society, those are the three major concepts of this book, one part is dealing with journalism other one is dealing with communication and another part is dealing with Society.
