The manual CA focused on various forms of false and misleading content. Our 4-cluster typology aims to serve as first step towards systematization in a still rather unexplored research field, and we look forward to future studies that build on & further develop this typology:
📢 Our new study that digs into the Facebook-content of alternative media across five countries (Switzerland, France, Germany, UK, US) has just been published #OpenAccess 📢
ONLINE FIRST & OPEN ACCESS! This study by @astaender, @EddaHumprecht and @esserfrank_ examines alternative media coverage of Covid-19: light and heavy distortion were prevalent, while extreme misinformation attracted smaller but more engaged audiences.

Information producers, consumers, & redistributors in such environments are at risk to prioritize attention, ideology, or certainty over actual facts. In the dissertation, I also discuss nuances within and overlaps between the vulnerable environments.
Still trying to grasp it all 😊🙏🏼 thank you all so much for joining and celebrating my defense last week! And special thanks to my supervisors and colleagues @esserfrank_ , @EddaHumprecht , @petervanaelst , @Mark_Eisenegger , and @TZerback for the inspiring journey.
Congratulations to @astaender for successfully defending her #PhD thesis on "#Misinformation environments – Studying the vulnerability of supply and demand dynamics to the spread of misinformation" summa cum laude! 🎉🎓Believe us, this is not #fakenews. 🤓
