Searching for the truth? search engines and their AI affordances’ responses to conspiratorial search practices
Search engines are a common pathway to conspiracy theories, and producers of conspiratorial narratives actively encourage users to search for particular terms. Understanding how search engines respond to different information-seeking practices is therefore essential for explaining the dynamics of online conspiracy theories. Existing audits of search engines rarely account for systematic variation in query formulation arising from users’ differing…
Social Media in Elections
The year 2024 was marked by an unprecedented confluence of elections around the world, with more than 50% of the world’s population called upon to vote on the future of their governments; perhaps most important of these was the presidential election in the United States in November 2024, which saw Donald Trump returned to the Presidency – an outcome whose immense consequences are already being felt strongly around the world, mere months into the …
Ruptures in Climate Discourse
Australia and Brazil are on the frontlines of climate crises. Both have experienced significant warming, including intense heatwaves. Both have experienced changes in rainfall patterns, with increases in some regions and decreases in others, affecting biodiversity, agriculture, and infrastructure. Floods and largely destructive bushfires have been major events both countries dealt with in the last decade. The frequency and intensity of such extre…
Why Reddit? Histories, Ethics, Politics & Practices as Reddit Turns 20
As Reddit approaches its twentieth anniversary in 2025, it occupies a unique and relatively under-studied place in the online landscape. The ruptures of recent internet history are visible as geological fixtures through the persistence and growth of structures and communities on Reddit. Once the self-proclaimed “front page of the internet”, to the latest tagline encouraging users to “dive into anything”, Reddit has evolved from a news alert homep…
Ruptures, Dissent and Cancellation
Scholars working across fan studies, internet studies and politics have noted the increasing use of cancellation practices across media, politics and culture and within digital spaces. Cancel culture is “the withdrawal of any kind of support (viewership, social media follows, purchases of products endorsed by the person, etc.) for those who are assessed to have said or done something unacceptable or highly problematic, generally from a social jus…
All Politics Is Local
TikTok has rapidly established itself as a fixture for debate on the state of the web and society at large. The platform serves as a primary generator of trends and viral content, and as a locus for political concerns around globalisation, surveillance and privacy. What is considerably understudied is how TikTok is forging connections in political discourses more locally. We present an exploration of political discourses on TikTok through the cas…
Analysing News Polarisation
Political polarisation – at the level of individual issues or broader ideologies, and expressed through differences of opinion on policies, divergent affective attachments, contrary interpretations of available information, or distinct patterns of interaction with other partisans – is necessarily always closely related to the information that individuals and groups engage with as they form and reinforce their own opinions about a given issue or t…
Division, not reconciliation
Concerns about rising social and political polarisation are widespread, with blame often attributed to partisan or biased news coverage despite limited empirical evidence. Previous studies have focussed on audiences, either their political leanings or polarised responses to news, offering limited insight into patterns of viewpoint diversity within news content. This study introduces an approach to measuring news media polarisation beyond the left…
Ideology and Affect in Political Polarization and Fandom Online
In recent years, scholarly attention has indicated the increased enmeshment of the political and entertainment media spheres, a change that has happened so gradually that it has not been as remarked upon as it should be. This is perhaps most observable in studies of community dynamics around both $2 and $2 . The backdrop of digital surveillance capitalism, and the specific platform affordances on which these communities exist and interact, exacer…
Revisiting Key Concepts in Digital Media Research
Recent scholarship on the intersections between digital media and political debate has taken on a decidedly pessimistic, even dystopian tone, and not without reason: from the effective use of social media platforms by populists and demagogues like Donald Trump to the expression of deepening ideological divides in online public debate, and from the emergence of partisan online communities and platforms to the intensification and exploitation of su…
