  • A computational analysis of the platformization of music

    Na Ta, Fang Jiao et al.•ARTICLE•Information Communication & Society•2026

    The (re)creation and distribution of cultural products such as music are increasingly shaped by digital platforms. This study explores how TikTok and Spotify, situated in different governance and user contexts, could influence digital music production and reception within each platform and between each other. Focusing on daily hit song charts as the embodiment of platformization, we collected and analyzed a two-year longitudinal dataset on TikTok…

  • Building resilience to misinformation

    Open Access•Sijia Qian, Cuihua Shen et al.•ARTICLE•New Media & Society•2026

    Amid growing concern about information quality and credibility in digital media environments, researchers and educators still lack a concise, comprehensive yet psychometrically sound instrument for tracking the various competencies that help people navigate this landscape. This article develops the Digital Media and Information Literacy Scale (DMILS)—a robust and multidimensional measure that distinguishes domain (digital vs information/news), co…

  • From Metrics to Insights

    Cuihua Shen•ARTICLE•Visual Communication Quarterly•2025

    Now is a great time to be a visual communication scholar, for two reasons. First, visual data have never been more abundant. Human-captured and synthetic images and videos are being created, edited

  • How social media users adopt the toxic behaviors of ingroup and outgroup accounts

    Open Access•Alon Zoizner, A Levy et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Computer-Mediated…•2025•Referências: 22

    While the spread of toxicity on social media has received ample attention, studies offer conflicting expectations and mixed evidence about its contagious nature. This study advances understanding of how toxicity becomes contagious by distinguishing between exposure to toxicity by ingroup versus outgroup members and separating toxicity into impolite style and intolerant substance. We focus on Israel during 2023, a period marked by intense politica…

Two true posts and two false posts were randomly assigned “True” and “False” labels, respectively. Multilevel regression models indicated that accuracy nudges …

  • How cognitive elaboration fosters knowledge acquisition on social media—a field experiment

    Open Access•Luna T Frauhammer, Jana H Dreston et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Computer-Mediated…•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 6

    Social media technologies have been criticized as ineffective sources of information because users seem to increase their subjective but not their objective knowledge. While different factors such as multitasking have been brought up as explanations, direct and fair comparisons of learning outcomes between social and traditional news media are missing. This two-wave field experiment (N1 = 902, N2 = 663) shows that whereas participants receiving i…

    Open Access•Marieke van Hoof, Damian Trilling et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Computer-Mediated…•2024•Referências: 8

    Search engines, as key sources of political information, have sparked concerns regarding selective exposure driven by user choices based on political beliefs and filter bubbles created by algorithms. This study focuses on the most influential yet often-overlooked user choice: search queries. We investigate the extent to which user choices (search queries) and algorithmic personalization (search history) lead to divergent search results. Building …

  • Topic territoriality and the cost of civility

    Open Access•Chao Yu, Drew Margolin et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Computer-Mediated…•2024•Referências: 14

    This article introduces the concept of “topic territoriality,” a mechanism that governs participation in conversational spaces. When a discussion becomes prone to territorialization, individuals are more likely to claim topics (participating in discussions about topics they own as “stakeholders”) and defer (reducing participation in topics owned by others). They are also more likely to patrol topic boundaries (monitoring who is participating and …

  • Signaling outrage is a signal about the sender

    Open Access•Charles K Monge, Sean M Laurent et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Computer-Mediated…•2024•Citada por: 2•Referências: 11

    Most flaming research addresses explanations for and the immediate effects of flaming on those engaging in and targeted by flaming. However, online interactions are increasingly visible, suggesting that understanding third-party evaluations of flaming is important. By integrating considerations in computer-mediated communication theorizing with the social-perceptual effects of online moral outrage, we explore how third-party observers evaluate fl…

Cross-sectional survey data from 396 respondents was analyzed by comparing two fully saturated structural equat…

  • The majority of fact-checking labels in the United States are intense and this decreases engagement intention

    Open Access•Haoning Xue, Jingwen Zhang et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•2024•Citada por: 6•Referências: 61

    Fact-checking labels have been widely accepted as an effective misinformation correction method. However, there is limited theoretical understanding of fact-checking labels' impact. This study theorizes that language intensity influences fact-checking label processing and tests this idea through a multi-method design. We first rely on a large-scale observational dataset of fact-checking labels from 7 U.S. fact-checking organizations (N = 33,755) …

  • Broadcast information diffusion processes on social media networks

    Open Access•Xuanjun Gong, Richard Huskey et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Communication•2023

    Understanding information diffusion is vital to explaining the good, bad, and ugly impacts of social media. Two types of processes govern information diffusion: broadcasting and viral spread. Viral spreading is when a message is diffused by peer-to-peer social connections, whereas broadcasting is characterized by influences that can come from outside of the peer-to-peer social network. How these processes shape public discourse is not well unders…

    Context collapse occurs on social media platforms when different groups are mixed into one audience. To advance the understanding of the extensive and complex coping strategies people use to address context collapse, this study makes a conceptual distinction between passively adapting by sharing context-free, general information (context adaptation) and rebuilding contexts to satisfy the diverse needs of impression management (context restoration…

  • Categorizing the non-categorical

    Open Access•Sarah Shugar, Alexi Quintana Mathé et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Computer-Mediated…•2023•Referências: 9

    Studies of gendered phenomena online have highlighted important disparities, such as who is likely to be elevated as an expert or face gender-based harassment. This research, however, typically relies upon inferring user gender—an act that perpetuates notions of gender as an easily observable, binary construct. Motivated by work in gender and queer studies, we therefore compare common approaches to gender inference in the context of online settin…

  • An Agenda for Studying Credibility Perceptions of Visual Misinformation

    Yilang Peng, Yingdan Lu et al.•ARTICLE•Political Communication•2023•Citada por: 18•Referências: 59

    Today's political misinformation has increasingly been created and consumed in visual formats, such as photographs, memes, and videos. Despite the ubiquity of visual media and the growing scholarly attention to misinformation, there is a relative dearth of research on visual misinformation.
