@csmapnyu.org in 2022 launched the Bilingual Election Monitor to study Latino online media consumption and how it impacts political beliefs and behaviors. Today, we published our first paper from this project at PNAS Nexus, and we have another one forthcoming at PRQ! 👇
📢 New CSMaP & @ucsandiego.bsky.social paper published in PNAS Nexus!

Main finding: Latinos who rely on Spanish-language social media for news were significantly more likely to believe false political narratives than those who consume English-language content
