Who Wants Impartial News? Investigating Determinants of Preferences for Impartiality in 40 Countries Camila Mont'Alverne, Amy Ross A. Arguedas, Sumitra Badrinathan, Benjamin Toff, Richard Fletcher, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen Abstract Despite the centrality of impartiality for many journalistic cultures, and widespread support across audiences, there is still limited research about which aspects influence people’s preferences for impartial news.

ABSTRACTTheory and research about trust in news typically draws on normative understandings of news as a conduit for information transmission in the service of the media’s role as the Fourth Estate in democratic systems. These approaches rely on a narrow top-down view of trust, and of how and why people use news in their daily lives.

SOCIAL issues involving young children and warring interest groups make good media fodder.
So researchers involved in these areas have to decide very carefully how to promote their findings to stop their work from being taken out of context. The latest chapter of the “shared care” debate shows how tricky this can be.

Posted Friday, May 31, 2024 9:30 am From the executive summary of an online survey focused on understanding if and how people use generative artificial intelligence (AI), and what they think about its application in journalism and other areas of work and life across six countries (Argentina, Denmark, France, Japan, the U.K. and the United States): ChatGPT is by far the most widely recognized generative AI product — around 50% of the online population in the six countries surveyed have heard...

Research articleIntroductionDespite the long-established scientific consensus that human activities are the primary drivers of climate change, conspiracy theories, contrarians’ viewpoints, and misinformation about its origins, impacts, and solutions continue to propagate in the contemporary information environment (Biddlestone et al., 2022; Cook, 2020; van der Linden et al., 2017).

IntroductionParticipation in public life – whether in-person or mediated; offline or online – is often praised as a civic good. While some forms of participation are ambiguous or even outright harmful, decades of media research, political theory and social science sees more participation as, on balance, positive and declines in participation as worrying (Couldry et al., 2010; Norris, 2011; Strömbäck, 2005; Verba et al., 1995).

The use of digital twins (DTs) has proliferated across various fields and industries, with a recent surge in the healthcare sector. The concept of digital twin for health (DT4H) holds great promise to revolutionize the entire healthcare system, including management and delivery, disease treatment and prevention, and health well-being maintenance, ultimately improving human life. The rapid growth of big data and continuous advancement in data science (DS) and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to significantly expedite DT research and development by providing scientific expertise, essential data, and robust cybertechnology infrastructure. Although various DT initiatives have been underway in the industry, government, and military, DT4H is still in its early stages. This paper presents an overview of the current applications of DTs in healthcare, examines consortium research centers and their limitations, and surveys the current landscape of emerging research and development opportunities in healthcare. We envision the emergence of a collaborative global effort among stakeholders to enhance healthcare and improve the quality of life for millions of individuals worldwide through pioneering research and development in the realm of DT technology.
