Dear AOIRs: I am a doctoral student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am currently doing my thesis research about how people read online news. I’m inviting you to participate in a study whose objective is to know how we cognitively process online news. Participants in the study will have to read short news articles online and to answer some questions about them. The study will take around 15 minutes, depending on your reading speed. All your answers will be managed anonymously. Thank you very much for helping me with my thesis research! Feel free to send the link to other people to invite them to participate. The study can be accessed here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=96SIKynaEuzDLFFh1O3NaA_3d_3d Thanks a lot for your help!
