What do people define as news or not? In this new article, led by Tali Aharoni and relying on data from the Trust in News project, we show how people often expand definitions on what they consider news.

Many news organisations across the world have created WhatsApp channels to distribute news. But can these channels help people navigate today’s complex information environment? This question is at the heart of our new study, co-authored with @patyrossini.bsky.social and @antoniskalog.bsky.social

As we approach another Presidential election in Brazil, one of the candidates is back to spreading misinformation about the electoral system (yes, I thought we were over this too, but here we go again).

🚨Alerta de publicação! @patyrossini.bsky.social liderou um novo artigo comigo e @antoniskalog.bsky.social investigando os efeitos da desinformação eleitoral sobre a intolerância política nas eleições brasileiras de 2022.

Este estudo examina a relação entre desinformação e intolerância política durante a Eleição de 2022 no Brasil. Usando uma pesquisa em três ondas, mostramos que cidadãos que acreditam em alegações falsas sobre fraude eleitoral se tornam mais intolerantes com oponentes políticos ao longo do tempo. A crença em desinformação eleitoral consistentemente previu aumentos na intolerância no decorrer da eleição. Encontramos um efeito indireto do uso de aplicativos de mensagens para notícias e intolerância, mediado pela crença em desinformação eleitoral, sugerindo que cidadãos que dependem de aplicativos de mensagens para notícias são mais suscetíveis a acreditar em desinformação e também aos seus efeitos prejudiciais à democracia. Essas descobertas destacam a desinformação eleitoral como um fator-chave de atitudes intolerantes em democracias polarizadas, operando não apenas ao corroer a confiança nas instituições, mas também ao minar o compromisso dos cidadãos com as normas democráticas.

🚨New publication alert! @patyrossini.bsky.social led a new article with @antoniskalog.bsky.social and me investigating the effects of electoral misinformation on political intolerance in the 2022 Brazilian elections.

Abstract: This study examines the relationship between misinformation and political intolerance during the 2022 Brazilian Election. Using a three-wave survey, we show that citizens who believe false claims about electoral fraud become more intolerant toward political opponents over time. Beliefs in electoral misinformation consistently predicted increases in intolerance over the course of the election. We find an indirect effect for using messaging apps for news and intolerance, mediated by beliefs in electoral misinformation, suggesting that citizens who rely on messaging apps for news are not only more susceptible to believing misinformation but also to its detrimental effects on democracy. These findings highlight electoral misinformation as a key driver of intolerant attitudes in polarized democracies, operating not only by eroding trust in institutions but also by undermining citizens’ commitment to democratic norms.

You don't have to believe that the fascists are competent enough to suppress voting everywhere in 2026 or 2028. You just have to believe that they can depress minority turnout in 5-10 cities to affect entire Senate races & the Electoral College. 2024 was decided by 120K votes in 3 states, after all.

Imagine a carpenter who couldn’t figure out how to adjust their table saw, or a surgeon who shrugged and said something like, “I’m just not a scalpel person.” We would never accept that. But in the field of knowledge work, “I’m just not a tech person” has become a permanent identity instead of a temporary gap to be filled.
