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

News items were presented as only a headline, an image, and a lead; the authenticity of news might have been evaluated differently if the entire news article was provided
The instructions given to participants may have made them more skeptical and therefore more suspicious of every news items' authenticity
This experiment was only able to capture the short-term effects of fact-checking flags
The study did not take the effect of social circles into consideration; the credibility of news is seen as much higher if it comes from a close friend of the media consumer
