SUMMARY:MIC Panel Event: Imagining a New Social Contract for Media | Annenberg School for Communication
DESCRIPTION:Expanding positive freedoms that enable greater opportunities for communication—as opposed to emphasizing only negative freedoms that protect us from harm—is foundational to reforming our media system so that it serves everyone. Even as concerns about social harms currently dominate contemporary policy discussions\, it is important to articulate collective needs and the political imaginary necessary for creating a more democratic system. This panel of leading international law and policy scholars features the authors of new books and a new report that all base arguments on positive freedoms\, making the case that whether we are talking about saving local journalism\, expanding access to broadband\, or redesigning our public media\, maximizing positive freedoms is essential for creating the information and communication infrastructures that democratic society requires. \n[…]\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Factual Corrections and Misinformation During the 2020 U.S. Election: Evidence from Panel Experiments |  Network Science Institute
DESCRIPTION:We measure the immediate and medium-term effects of 21 highly-trafficked pieces of misinformation and fact-checks during the 2020 U.S. election with eight panel experiments (N = 17\,681). Exposure to misinformation increased false beliefs by an average of 4.3 points on a 100-point belief certainty scale. Exposure to fact-checks more than corrected this effect\, decreasing false beliefs by 10.5 points. The effects of fact-checks persisted at 66% of the immediate effect one week after exposure\, and at 50% after more than two weeks. We estimate minuscule effects of misinformation and fact-checks on evaluations of political figures and groups. Fact-checks of party-congenial false claims were more effective among Democrats than Republicans. We examine this asymmetry with data provided to us by the fact-checking organization PolitiFact. We document robust heterogeneities by personality type and cognitive style\, which further investigation suggests may be related to time spent reading fact-checks. \n[…]
