Creators are helping to reach important audiences with journalism, often outstanding, innovative journalism.
They are helping to inform people legacy media isn't reaching. We need to enable, fund, and include these people in the ecosystem of trustworthy sources.

Bottom line: humor in news is a powerful tool for conveying facts—especially at a time when satirical news, an alternative venue for those who don't trust mainstream media, is under unprecedented political attack

We know that learning is an emotional process. This slide was a real hit in my methods class (26 students enrolled, 22 of them women). It sparked a bit of an upheaval, to the extent that it took me a while to calm them down.
I’d bet good money they’ll remember what moderation is for years to come😀

I had excruciating pain during my pregnancy and all I could take was paracetamol. Trump's words are going to cause so much suffering on so many women.
“Pain relief for pregnant women is woefully lacking, [it] is a a much safer pain relief option during pregnancy than basically any other alternative”

The bad part: I massively sprayed my (white) shirt with olive oil on the first day of class, two hours before teaching. The good part: it's sunny so I am sunbathing on a bench, hoping my soaked, hand-washed shirt dries on time for my class 😬

In times of crisis for journalism, satirical news offer an alternative way for people to stay informed. But how effective are they? Does humor enhance or hinder information processing? We tested it in the lab, and got good news for satirical news :)
