I’ll be remotely presenting our work at the 7/23 8:30 AM ET hybrid session at IC2S2! By measuring both passive exposure and active engagement with news content, we provide a more nuanced view of how algorithmic curation and user agency shape digital news consumption.

Hi #PolComm, I will present my dissertation which develops a trust-based theory of misinformation belief and sharing in social contexts using a dyadic interactive experiment on oTree at #ica25. The presentation will take place on Saturday at 1:30pm in Centennial F, Hyatt Regency. Come check it out!
Only one week left until the ICA! 🤩 We are pleased to present an overview of the Polcomm programme. Make a note of the sessions you cannot miss!

🚀 Everyone’s using LLMs to generate message stimuli—but how well do they *actually* perform? Can they manipulate better than humans? Control confounds? We put them to the test—and the results are more surprising than you'd expect.

I'm going to share our work on how LLMs can generate stimuli for experimental research. Across 4 experiments, we tested whether GPT-generated stimuli could effectively manipulate variables while avoiding confounders. The results? Promising, but complicated! Catch us here👇

Looks like TikTok may be "banned" in the US if it doesn't sell by Jan 19. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/b... I have two questions about this that the article doesn't answer:
TikTok Faces U.S. Ban After Losing Bid to Overturn New Law
The law will ban the video app in the United States by Jan. 19 if its owner, ByteDance, does not sell it to a non-Chinese company.
