Hey, my book, Aggregating the News, is out! https://t.co/TADOYQ5swU

To give you a taste of a few of the main points with some excerpts, a quick thread:

@TheGenniesDaily I will say I like it better than a Civil War general roaming the sidelines.

[Mark Coddington @markcoddington]

@TheGenniesDaily Number of times a week I get into a near-accident in that spot from students flying around a turn: 4? 5?

[Mark Coddington @markcoddington]

@TheGenniesDaily Wow, really late!

[Seth C. Lewis @SethCLewis]

@TheGenniesDaily Do in-laws count? It's Dhall, then 😂

@laughtersfury @DukePress Congrats, Diego! Well deserved!

New research about news in this month's RQ1 newsletter with @SethCLewis: Scholars looked at 1.7M recommended videos on YouTube, and it will probably not surprise you to learn that its algorithm is much more likely to pull you away from news than toward it. https://t.co/fHNcdTqZSq

@MikkiBrock Congrats, Mikki! W&L is lucky to have you.

[Logan Molyneux @loganex]

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

@Nick_Mathews So sorry for both of your losses, Nick.

[Mark Coddington @markcoddington]

@jackhunter2020 @WarehamGatemen That's awesome! Way to go, Jack!

[Mark Coddington @markcoddington]

@Nick_Mathews @IllinoisPress This is so exciting! Congrats, Nick!

[Mark Coddington @markcoddington]

@rmoon @nikkiusher @kreissdaniel @OUPAcademic Congrats, Ruth!

@jasoncfry An objectively fantastic list.*

Last night was the most fun I've had watching a sporting event in years. I kind of feel like my years of futile efforts to explain the phenomenon that is Husker volleyball to my friends were finally vindicated. So proud to be a Nebraskan today! https://t.co/kGwaSL1Iwa

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

The tunnel walk to a stadium filled with thousands of volleyball fans 🤩

This is so disappointing from Texas A&M. I literally cannot imagine anyone better than @kathleeno to lead the revival of their journalism program, and they ran her out before she even started. An absolute shame. https://t.co/ScF1OtOIuc

[Mark Coddington @markcoddington]

Young adults explain in a new study why they don't pay for online news - not exclusive, too time-consuming, too much commitment. That and other new journalism research in this month's RQ1 from me and @SethCLewis https://t.co/VAmuiOQd8K

[Logan Molyneux @loganex]

Maybe you're like me in wishing journalists would adjudicate source claims before writing, rather than presenting contradictory statements and throwing up their hands. Turns out it's a pretty tall order, @markcoddington and I find in this new study 🚨 https://t.co/p0JuQe1CB2

[Mark Coddington @markcoddington]

@BadgerNoonan So many hours playing this game growing up. The Heroes are the '27 Yankees of video game baseball. Barney, Bobby, and Bret are absolute beasts.

[Mark Coddington @markcoddington]

I’m pretty sure this envelope is going to my in-laws

[DVD Netflix @dvdnetflix]

On September 29th, 2023, we will send out the last red envelope. It has been a true pleasure and honor to deliver movie nights to our wonderful members for 25 years. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey, including this final season of red envelopes.
