False reports and misinformation

Japanese: 虚報・誤報 - きょほうごほう
False reports and misinformation
A report (mainly in the mass media) that clearly differs from the objective "facts" in some part or aspect is called a misreport, and a false report is a report that is completely untrue or has not happened, whether it is an exaggeration of the fact, the result of the source's, journalist's, or the person who compiled the report's information, a misconception, or an intentional act, as if it had happened. The difference is between presenting fiction as real news and mixing fiction, whether with good or bad intentions, but it is difficult to draw a line between the two based on specific cases, and in everyday language they are usually lumped together under the term "misreporting."

Japanese:
客観的〈事実fact〉と,ある部分,ある側面が明白に違う報道(主としてマス・メディアの)を誤報といい,その極大化したもの,取材源,ジャーナリスト,構成者の思いこみ,推定ミスなどによるものにせよ,意図的な作為によるにせよ,まったく事実でないこと,起こっていないことを,あったかのように報ずるのを虚報という。フィクションを現実のニュースとして提供するのと,善意,悪意を問わず,フィクションを混入するのとの違いではあるが,具体的事例にそくして,両者の間に境界線をひくことは難しく,ふつう日用語では誤報という用語で一括している。
