Recently, Horne and Adali found, on a small amount of data, that news title stylistic and linguistic features are better than the same type of features extracted from the news body in predicting fake news. In this paper, we present our attempt to reproduce the same results to validate their findings. We show which of their findings can be generalized to larger political and gossip news datasets. %@ 978-3-030-72240-1
