This paper proposes a novel hybrid fake news detection system combining a BERT-based model with a LightGBM model. The system's performance is compared against four other classification approaches using various word embedding techniques across three real-world datasets. Evaluations using headline-only and full-text news content demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method compared to state-of-the-art methods.
