Our study on journalistic science literacy is now out in PNAS Nexus:
Media coverage of science can be improved by small doses of training, according to a study. A 7-minute video covering sources of funding, sample composition, statistics, causal interpretations, and graphs improved the accuracy of headlines. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/PSzv50YTyuh

Excited to share our new paper: “Debunking ‘fake news’ on social media: Immediate and short-term effects of fact-checking & media literacy” (w/ Anna Kerkhof, @FelixMindl & Johannes Münster) – forthcoming in Journal of Public Economics.

Some of the positive effects persist even two weeks later. Both interventions preserve trust in accurate posts, but media literacy builds broader, longer-lasting skills to spot misinformation.

Do economic incentives make journalists produce more emotional news headlines? 🤔
@UniCologne researcher @LariBerger found that 38% of offline economic headlines & 60% of online headlines are considered emotional (both more negative & positive).
