Evie has peddled health conspiracy theories & disinfo, patriarchal relationships, and anti-LGBTQ views under an aesthetic guise.

False allegations about electoral fraud have been widespread in the past years. In this study with US and Brazilian populations, we investigated the effectiveness of credible sources and pre-bunking in the so-called ‘voter fraud’ context. Check the primary findings:

Looking very much forward to read the entire book. Among the findings: “Women tend to consume less news in part due to their heavy caretaking responsibilities and persistent divisions of labor in the home that often afford men more time to keep up with news (at least in heterosexual relationships)”
In an excerpt from their new book, AVOIDING THE NEWS, @benjamintoff.bsky.social, Ruth Palmer, & Rasmus Kleis Nielsen describe news avoidance as a product of individuals’ identities and how it contributes to inequalities on a macrolevel. bit.ly/3T5exwn @niemanlab.org @reutersinstitute.bsky.social
