This is a pretty good article on the topic of elections generally, grounded in empirical research: http://insights.berggruen.org/issues/issue-6/ institute_posts/147 --- Alex Leavitt, Ph.D. http://alexleavitt.com Twitter: @alexleavitt <http://twitter.com/alexleavitt> On Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 9:38 PM, Yosem Companys <companys@stanford.edu> wrote:
You're preaching to the choir, Chris. What's accurate news for one group may be fake news for another. News is socially constructed.
What I wanted to know is whether there are any studies showing how news (fake or accurate, if you will) influenced voter behavior, particular Trump supporters' voter behavior.
Thanks, Yosem

I was emphasizing that the focus of my question is on the sharing of fake news via social media. God knows that fake news as a phenomenon has existed for thousands of years.

Why is social media news fake? Is this a judgement!

Anyone know of any academic studies showing that fake (social media) news influenced the 2016 presidential election outcome?
