Overcoming polarization with chatbot news? Investigating the impact of news content containing opposing views on agreement and credibility
Chatbots are a burgeoning opportunity for news media outlets to disseminate their content in a conversational way, and create an engaging experience around it.

In an experiment, we test this idea by investigating whether people are more likely to accept a news article containing conf…

In our article, we examine how news personalisation is used by quality and popular media in three coun…
