Two online tools that can used to make reverse image searches are TinEye and Google image search. These can be used locate the sources of fake news images.
Most often the fake news creators use old images available on net and then put sensational captions/comments relevant to current situation(s). These 'fake images' are then posted on social media platforms (facebook, twitter etc) which are then widely shared. The account from which the 'fake image and content' is first posted is usually deleted in a few hours.
But, by then the damage would have been done in real world.
Interestingly, these tools can also be used to perform copyright violation of images.
