I think we must be halfway through #ica20 ?😱 There are so many interesting presentations on that platform. Below I collect a few that I thought very interesting so far - all sorts of topics, different methods, different divisions, very random - but all informative and inspiring.
👉 @EddaHumprecht @astaender et al with 6c study on resilience to online disinformation. Data from April/May 2020 (!). Study finds that people engage more with Covid19 disinformation where resilience is challenged by different malformations (populism, polarization,...).
👉 @MasurPhil with two experimental studies on the influence of social norms on disclosure intentions/behaviour on social media. Well crafted, complex findings, e.g. media literate ppl less likely to disclose in general but more likely to adapt to social norms on a platform.
👉 @meljbunce with 35 elite interviews on the #defendmediafreedom campaign. Some findings: Media freedom is a *hard* campaign topic, but having Amal Clooney aboard helps (yes, they interviewed Amal Clooney - so much glamour in journalism research!).
👉 @ekvraga with a study on the effects of news literacy interventions (eg "Weigh competing views") on news perceptions/behaviour on news aggregator websites. Very complex findings, sometimes undesirable outcomes. NL messages can quickly go wrong and we need more research!
👉 @StephEdgerly with survey on news consumer types. She applies Gamson Hypothesis to news use and studies four distinct news orientations along news trust (high/low) and news efficacy (high/low). The types (they still need cool names!) show different news exposure patterns.
👉The whole panel on "News Deserts, Local Journalism, and Media Policy Concerns" with @joyjenkins @annikasehl @Nick_Mathews and others. "Life is harder in Caroline County without the Caroline Progess"
