Get my new open-access study on audiences' awareness of algorithmic news personalization in three European countries:

https://doi.org/10.1080/1369118X.2025.2553015

The findings suggest that the older and the less politically interested individuals are, the less frequently they are aware of implicit personalization. Moreover, women are more likely to be aware of implicit personalization than men, especially regarding posts on social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube).

study on user #comments and their effect on journalistic #quality perception here:

https://doi.org/10.5771/2192-4007-2025-3-339

We find that (1) high-quality articles are more likely to captivate readers’ interest and maintain their attention throughout the reading process than low-quality ones, (2) positive reader comments affect the perception of specific journalistic quality dimensions (e.g., transparency and diversity).

I visited the DNB for a two day workshop on Twitter data research together with my colleague Reshmi Pillai (VU Amsterdam). A great event for researchers who are still interested in Twitter. Thanks @DNB_Aktuelles for having us.

So happy to see this new, wonderfully sharp article on Mastodon by @inquiline is out. It thoughtfully demonstrates the ways in which Mastodon's featured anti-abuse affordances can in fact make the job of moderators more difficult. And it articulates nicely how and why hashtag activism tends to be a more difficult project on Mastodon than on the birdsite of yesteryear. Great constructive critiques of which I hope designers and admins take note.
