Fact-checking in the postmodern era

In this thesis, we have tried to evaluate the concept of fact-checking, which constructs a new discourse in the media industry in parallel with the concept of post-truth, and within this framework, we have tried to evaluate how fact-checking channels evaluate the concepts of truth and lies within the framework of Postmodern thought, as well as focusing on the question of whether fact-checking tools, which claim to be a fact-truth, are the new gate-keepers of the new media and which truths or lies these platforms open their eyes to and which ones they close to (such as peak a boo). Indeed, Postmodern literature offers us a contextualized form of the "knowability" of truth or reality. Although Postmodern thought has been accused of "muddying the waters", so to speak, because of this character, it offers us a wealth of literature on the ontic, epistemic, socio-economic archaeology of knowledge, truth, and the discourse of truth.
