Goal of "Flagging fake news on social media: An experimental study of media consumers' identification of fake news"

  • To understand how the presence of fact-checking flags can affect peoples' ability to identify misinformation
  • To identify which types of flags are more effective: those from fact-checkers or those from individual readers through crowdsourcing
  • Lastly, to understand if, after seeing the flags, peoples' assessment of fake news changes due to critical thinking or due to their blind faith in the flags
