Interesting new study with three-wave panel data examining the relationship between hostile media perceptions and trust in news by @Flo_Wintt @die_Gwen @j_metag https://t.co/VZIpqSa8oF

New Study with @die_Gwen and @j_metag finds: Negative evaluations of topic-specific coverage such as migration do not lead to a loss of trust in the media in general. More in the paper here: https://t.co/97eLsuyJOL

Jüngst wird viel geredet über #TikTok-Dominanz der #AfD und deren (möglichen) Einfluss auf #Europawahlen. Oft ohne empirische Belege. Unsere Daten (Befragung, Mai/Juni, 2879 👥) zeigen einen Zusammenhang (≠Effekt!) zwischen der Informationsnutzung und #AfD-Präferenz.

After we developed the concept of "source proximity," @markcoddington and I wondered if outlets could be distinguished by their mix of sources and evidence: Do alternative media also have alternative epistemologies? Our research suggests yes: https://t.co/avLIox2J4K

How do people use #social #media if they overestimate their knowledge about scientific topics like #COVID19?
Our new study shows: In 🇩🇪🇹🇼, overestimation is not linked to social media exposure, but to more engagement – and to #populist views of #science 🔗

[Niels G. Mede @nielsmede]

How do people perceive #science and its role in society? Do they #trust scientists? 🧑🏾‍🔬
We did a global 67-country survey (n=71,417) to test this, working with 239 researchers from all continents – the #TISP #ManyLabs study. It’s now available as #preprint: https://t.co/qFNmD9IeY4

[Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel]

Our new paper describes that "The Identity-based Model of Political Belief" and explains how social identity shapes information processing and contributes to the belief and spread of #misinformation
Partisanship involves cognitive and motivational aspects that shape party members' beliefs and actions. This includes whether they seek further evidence, where they seek that evidence, and which sources they trust.
Understanding the interplay between social identity and accuracy is crucial in addressing misinformation.

I’ve written this piece for the FT about the challenges we face globally with disinformation and the urgent need of a systematic approach to address the root causes of the creation and spread of disinformation, and the positive opportunities that offers.

Audiences who follow climate news every week are more likely to think people are affected by climate change now

This is one of the findings of a report by @waqasejazch @MitaliLive @richrdfletcher with data from 🇧🇷🇮🇳🇵🇰🇯🇵🇬🇧🇺🇸🇫🇷🇩🇪 #COP28

🧵10 charts below

[Reuters Institute @risj_oxford]

Twitter’s users are not representative of the wider population

As the chart shows, audiences using Twitter for news are more likely to be men, and tend to be more well-off, well-educated and more interested in news and politics
