Summary/Abstract: The Internet community is full of information of different quality. The absence of any rules, the lack of awareness and the unwillingness to analyse information give support to alternative facts, while Social Networks increase their influence and give the impression that they are actually real. However, serious journalists who are becoming more and more active on Social Networks are also coming on the scene. They explain the facts, put them into context, or argue against false news. The aim of the paper Truth in the context of the Internet is to map this current issue by analysing theoretical knowledge of several authors.
