Twitter is dying but before we all leave, just want to flag that I’m on the lookout for roles in the broad spectrum of research/writing/policy on technology and society. Keen to chat to anyone who can help out or direct me to something!

Glad to see such insightful work by @flora_boe & @pgildersleve quantitatively assessing The Comment Gap in @derStandardat! Understanding how journalists and audiences value online news comment sections is key to fostering productive discussions in journalistic spaces 🧵👇

🚨New preprint!
📰The News Comment Gap and Algorithmic Agenda Setting in Online Forums w/@flora_boe

We study:
1) The differences in comment preferences between journalists and readers
2) How comment ranking algorithms prioritise different kinds of comments to display to users🧵

[Patrick Gildersleve @pgildersleve]

🗣️Understanding these preferences and algorithmic consequences is vital in fostering healthy discussion online and of clear interest to journalists presenting their stories
This is especially important given the increasing scrutiny of online speech and how it is hosted/moderated

[Patrick Gildersleve @pgildersleve]

Excited to be at @IC2S2 2024! I’ll be presenting “The News Comment Gap and Algorithmic Agenda Setting in Online Forums” in session 3C, Friday 11am. Say hi if you want to connect👋
