Most web browsing studies analyzing news and misinformation operate at the domain level. Work by me, @fangjingtu, @YingdanL_kk et al. scrapes the content from web visits to go beyond the source to the content level, finding significant topical and linguistic variations

Here is a 🧵 of terms related to money/funding in academia that no one explained to me until I was applying for faculty jobs (or after I'd started), that I pretended to understand until then, and that would’ve been very helpful to learn earlier than I did.

Every year my grad students read O’Keefe (1975) and every year I am reminded why I love it. He writes:

“Most Communication researchers seem obsessed with “doing studies” at the expense of theoretical explication and analysis.”

And that was before a big data was a thing.

Intriguing, I wonder what affects these differential trust in vote-counting. Some guesses here: confidence in mail-in ballots? Media diet? Trust in mainstream media? Feeling of status threat? Level of dogmatism?

[Nathaniel Rakich @baseballot]

Per @cstewartiii's Survey on the Performance of American Elections, Republicans' faith in vote-counting depended strongly on who won the state. Democrats' did not. https://t.co/cgY0KHPq0Z
