Michael Michael Hameleers over de invloed van desinformatie:

'Desinformatie is vaak sensationeel, anti-establishment en emotioneel. Het effect is dat we onbewust op desinformatie blijven klikken. Het algoritme doet de rest.

🚨 Happy to announce a new publication! In this cross-country study (Germany and Belgium), we (w/ Desiree Schmuck) explored which factors are linked with reliance on social media influencers (SMIs) for political information among youth. /1 doi.org/10.1177/194016…

What does a sandwich have to do with #factchecking ? A truth sandwich is a type of fact-check that wraps a false claim into two layers of true information. Is this effective, and in what way? We summarize our recent study in this BENEDMO_hub blog (Dutch) benedmo.eu/2024/02/27/ond…

📢 Just out: One puzzle for #factcheckers is how to correct #misinformation without unintentionally furthering its spread. The truth sandwich is often praised to achieve this, but does it? We find no effects for belief change, but other indirect benefits: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Hoe gaan nieuwsmedia om met complottheorieën? Daarover organiseren we op 8 nov. een bijeenkomst bij Beeld & Geluid in Den Haag. Sprekers o.a. Maarten Keulemans, Jaron Harambam, Hedwig te Molder, Tim Verheyden en Marieke Kuypers. Inschrijven: beeldengeluid.nl/bezoek/agenda/…
