of presenting false facts in media publications. There is another type of news that present true
facts and events but cannot be defined as real news and these are the so called post-news. The
paper introduces this term for the first time and also analyzes the consequences that the media
environment saturated with post-news has over the audience. Keywords: post-truth, fake news, media ethics
