@RuxandraTeslo @viropractor Trust in media seems to be relative, even across journalistic cultures often seen as being closely aligned. Maybe the best ways to address disinformation are more cultural comparative than universal https://t.co/3T9skEmvQw

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

It always blows my mind how much wider the partisan trust gap is for US media compared to the UK 🤯

Most British media is trusted (or distrusted) about equally by supporters of both major parties. That’s true of virtually no US media org.

Deeply corrosive for US society.

Wow, that article @DeirdreAONeill and I did in @journstudies on #NewsValues has now topped a quarter of a million views.
At this rate it will soon overtake the circulation of some of the news outlets we studied.

A stunning, entertaining critique of psychology. Many points apply to anthropology, political science, and sociology. #EconTwitter : many also to economics? https://t.co/ofbarW4ptz

[Jesmond Library @JesmondLibrary]

Many thanks to @Murray_Dick for this guest blog. The exhibition is currently on display in the Library until the end of August. Call in and take a look - it’s a fascinating set of facts and figures about North Jesmond.

@cartohype and I took a deep dive into how arrows came to be used on maps...and what they've come to mean. It's a fascinating history!

Cycling is a fun and cheap way that people can improve their physical and mental health, reduce air pollution and prevent climate change. We need to make it safe for our community, including our kids, to get on their bikes! @SunriseCycleway @NTStreetLife

@acerbialberto Suspect if you looked at the personality traits of the exes making these decisions you'd find lots of narcissism...

@CJFerguson1111 @clairlemon Adam Ferguson had 7, Thomas Reid had "numerous", and Lord Kames had kids too, and that's just the Scottish enlightement...

@Chanders How about something to challenge the orthodoxy…

Determinism (and utopia)
Liberty (after Grayling)
Negative stimulus (psychology of news values)
Neuroticism (after Lasch)
North American cultural imperialism
Postcritique (after Latour)
