📖 For the upcoming Elgar Encyclopedia of Political Communication, Fabienne Lind and I wrote an entry on knowledge gaps. You can find our open preprint here: researchgate.net/publication/38…

🚨Exciting news! The preprint of Ahrabhi Kathirgamalingam's groundbreaking paper on coder (dis)agreement is now live! It shows how variation in both human coders and LLMs can be understood as information around marginalization constructs like racism. Read it here: osf.io/preprints/soca…

You have heard about it at #ECREA & now out as pre-print - great work by Ahrabhi Kathirgamalingam, Fabienne Lind, Jana Bernhard, and H.G. Boomgaarden. 🙆 & 🤖#CoderBias for Constructs of Marginalization. 🚨

When is an 'area' of valid truth, rather than a single point, the more appropriate assumption for annotating texts? In our new preprint,led by Ahrabhi Kathirgamalingam with Jana Bernhard and H.Boomgaarden,we study the presence & sources of coder bias in annotating constructs of marginalization.

Three takeaways from my first PhD paper on promises (with @c_baden): Politicians make promises every day. Promises encompass varying degrees of commitment. The degree of commitment depends on when, by who, and for whom promises are made. In Party Politics. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

A bit late to the party, but we are happy to announce a new project started recently: In cooperation with @c_baden at HUJI, Fabienne Lind is leading a HUJI-UNIVIE Joint Research Grant University of Vienna Social Sciences entitled MEMEM. Sounds interesting? Well, here you go 👀 publizistik.univie.ac.at/en/news/latest…

Does trust in news outlets result in more consumption? Or does consumption lead to more trust? This fundamental question gets a first clear-cut and nuanced answer in a new paper by Tali aharoni, @c_baden & Keren Tenenboim-Weinblatt. In Communication Research. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

Excited to have kicked off this project on multilingual embeddings and their potential and limitations for social science research!

Media criticism is important, but often strategically misused by politicians. Today feels alarmly fitting to share the first publication of my dissertation. Michael Hameleers, Katjana Gattermann, Andreas Schuck and I inductively analyzed media criticism, [1/4] journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19…
