'false information' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'girl primarily broadcasting' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'fi' (nickname for Fiona).
'primarily' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'broadcasting' is 'b'.
'fi'+'b'='FIB'

(Other definitions for fib that I've seen before include "Story" , "minor piece of fiction" , "One must be 20 [UNTRUE]" , "Petty falsehood" , "Small lie" .)
