Abstract: Highlights•We introduce SocialNews, a novel dataset for disinformation detection online.•Images were sourced primarily from social profiles of news agencies around the world.•The goal is to automatically identify the profile of the user that shared an image.•We introduce two benchmarks methods: a DCT-based one and a ResNet-based one.•Experiments show that the proposed benchmark methods outperform the state of the art.
