Seems even more relevant today as we talk about #bias and #neutrality in public service media globally"

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

As a scholar I rarely offer electoral guidance. But today I do: DO NOT USE AI CHATBOTS AS YOUR VOTE ADVICE APPLICATION AHEAD OF (THE DUTCH) ELECTIONS Full of errors, bias and lack of transparency. @ernesto-deleon.com @favstats.eu @theoaraujo.bsky.social and🙋unpack why algosoc.org/results/1-in...

Weer een heel sterk opgezet debat van de NOS. Het format met 6 rondes van 3 heeft veel thema's, toch voldoende rust, en een kans voor alle deelnemers. (Bijna) geen toeters en bellen en met een goede gespreksleider. Een sterke combinatie.

SBS6-Debat: Onderwerp 'wonen' wordt door de debatorganisatoren meteen geframed als migratie-onderwerp (voorrang statushouders).

De quickscan die je wist dat zou komen. Het is aan de journalistiek (debatleiders!) dit een thema voor de verkiezingen te maken.

De PVV komt eind deze maand misschien wel als grootste uit de bus, maar wordt door veel partijen uitgesloten. Dat klinkt ondemocratisch, maar is het niet. Want échte democratie bestaat uit veel meer dan de meeste stemmen gelden. @jelmermommers.bsky.social

🌟 Exciting news! I’m thrilled to share that I have received a SCALE-UP grant from @acesuva.bsky.social for my project on the impact of accurate and inaccurate bias accusations on bias perceptions towards public media. Looking forward to presenting these results at their upcoming workshop ⤵️

Are universities perceived as left-wing bastions? Are police officers seen as right-wing? And are judges considered impartial? In a new publication in @ejprjournal.bsky.social, Erika van Elsas, @mauritsmeijers.bsky.social, and I answer these questions ... (1/3) www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Does loneliness correlate with support for the populist radical right? In the Netherlands, yes-lonelier individuals were more likely to support the PRR across 15 years of data (2008-2023), with effect sizes comparable to health correlates of loneliness. (1/9) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
