Abstract This article proposes a model based on a systematic literature review (SLR) that investigates the intersection of Fake News, Risk, and Risk Management.Employing Design Science Research as the primary methodology, it introduces a conceptual model to mitigate Fake News-related risks in specific communities.The model uses ArchiMate to depict a community as an organisational entity, exemplifying its practicality through a Fake News Lip Balm instance from the Central European Digital Pool Cleaners Media Observatory.
The research undergoes rigorous evaluation using the Bunge-Wand-Weber Model, ensuring its consistency and value to the scientific community.This evaluation formalises the proposed conceptual model, offering a structured framework systematically mapping Fake News concepts to mitigate associated risks and disinformation.This study contributes to the Fake News management discourse, providing a practical risk management tool to counter the phenomenon.
