Our main contribution is the enhancement of fake news' detection accuracy through different models and parametrizations with a reproducible result examination through the conducted experiments. The evaluation shows that already short texts are enough to attain 85% accuracy on the test set. Using the body text and a concatenation of both reach up to 87% accuracy.
