Shining Light on “Dark Science”
The journalistic watchdog role has traditionally been theorised as a mechanism for scrutinising political power. Yet comparatively little scholarly attention has been paid to watchdog practices that target science itself, despite growing concerns about research misconduct, misinformation, and the misuse of scientific authority in digital media environments. This study addresses this gap by conceptualising and mapping the emerging ecosystem of sci…
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…
Fact-Checkers on the Fringe
This study investigates the methods and practices used by self-identified fact-checkers situated on the fringe of the field of fact-checking to support their agenda for public recognition and legitimacy. Using a case study approach and selecting nine cases across five countries (Russia, Brazil, India, China, and Singapore), we identify the most common distinguishable attributes and tactics associated with this ambiguous collection of actors. In a…
Fact-Checking Role Performances and Problematic Covid-19 Vaccine Content in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa
The move from political fact-checking to a “public health” or debunking model of fact-checking, sustained by policies and funding from platforms, highlights important tensions in the case of Covid-19. Building on findings from studies focused on journalistic role performance, we investigated how professional fact-checkers in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa conceived of and performed their professional roles when addressing Covid-19 vaccinati…
A platform policy implementation audit of actions against Russia’s state-controlled media
A platform policy implementation audit of how major digital platforms implemented their content moderation policies towards RT and Sputnik accounts at the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. It shows a wide, yet inconsistent range of measures taken by tech giants
Soft power, sharp power? Exploring RT ’s dual role in Russia’s diplomatic toolkit
This article examines the multilingual audiences of Russian outlet RT on Facebook. RT is a state media outlet known for spreading strategic Kremlin narratives and disinformation in support of Russia’s domestic and foreign policy objectives to large and multilingual global audiences. RT serves as a central pillar of the Russian information influence apparatus, and an instrument of both ‘soft’ and ‘sharp power’, the latter describing the use of inf…
‘Fake News’ and Other Problematic Information
Encompassed by the disputed term ‘fake news’, a variety of overtly or covertly biased, skewed, or falsified reports claiming to present factual information are now seen to constitute a critical challenge to the effective dissemination of news and information across established and emerging democratic societies. Such content – variously also classifiable as propaganda, selective reporting, conspiracy theory, inadvertent misinformation, and deliber…
