Excited about the first paper from @MurrowCollege's renovated #VR lab in New Media & Society. We examine the dynamics of VR, empathy/sympathy, and the moderating role of political ideology in the case of the #Syrian refugee crisis.

What minefields do local newspapers negotiate while responding to disinformation? My study of the @twinfallstn response to the "Syrian refugee rape case" in Twin Falls, ID suggests steps local journalists can consider to engage with disinformation. https://t.co/4RqFLhfrDX

@NitashaKaul Hindutva lens is, at best, an incomplete one to understand the Manipur conflict. Religion just happens to be an incidental variable here. Ancient prejudices (exacerbated by the British) is a far more powerful driver in this case.
