⏰ New book chapter ⏰
I examine the largely underexplored concept of AI-driven hyper-personalized news recommendations. In short, there are still several ethical and practical implications to be considered, both for newsrooms and audiences.

⏰ New open-access paper ⏰
We explored audiences' awareness of algorithmic news #personalisation in GER, FR, and the UK (N = 3,030). In short: There is a general lack of awareness and inequities related to age, gender, and political interest.

⏰ New open-access paper ⏰
We explored how #comments shape readers’ perception of an article’s journalistic quality. In short: positive reader comments affect the perception of specific journalistic #quality dimensions, while negative comments garner more attention.

Why is local #journalism slow in #AI adoption? Helle Sjøvaag and I argue that regulatory framework, competitive pressures, and trust in technology collectively shape the AI #adoption curve.

NEU: In Deutschland verschwinden immer mehr Lokalzeitungen. In fast jedem zweiten Landkreis gibt es inzwischen nur noch eine einzige Zeitung. Das ist ein Problem, denn nichts ist so wichtig für unserer Demokratie wie ein funktionierender Lokaljournalismus. Die ganze Studie: wuestenradar.de
And this is how we did it 😄 Presenting findings from an eye tracking study at the ECREA2024.

Do audiences perceive news labeled as AI-generated as more or less trustworthy?
In work led by @benjamintoff.bsky.social we find that the answer seems to be "less"

Interessante Aussage von Oskar Lafontaine: “Es ist ein Irrtum zu glauben, dass die Arbeiter Parteiprogramme lesen oder studieren, was der Neoliberalismus ist.“
Mit Populismus und Parolen gewinnt man demnach Wahlen?
