@TheBristolCable journalist @MattyEdwards23 writes in the @guardian

"Reporting in the aftermath of events like these is crucial in setting the narrative [...] as such, it was particularly worrying to see the attacks on members of the press"

[Matty Edwards @MattyEdwards23]

After I criticised some national media coverage of Friday’s #BristolProtest, The Guardian asked me to write something.

Looking back on the vital on the ground reporting from across the Bristol media, local journalism feels more important than ever. https://t.co/a1oxlgLc6n

New research, demonstrating that prolonged exposure to partisan media (HuffPost and Fox News, in this case) leads to declines in trust in mainstream media.

Very relevant to our study.

📣Out now at @PNASNews! @junghwanyang, @p_barbera, @simonsaysnothin and I study how online news affects people's info consumption, attitudes, and behavior. We demonstrate a long-term effect of partisan news exposure: lowered trust in mainstream news.

Extremely important research being conducted by @jameswilldennis.

We look forward to seeing the paper; it looks to mutually support many aspects of our interview findings, too.

[Beyond the MSM @beyondthemsm]

Earlier today we presented our research findings from our recently published study, which you can read here:
