Third, @sabinecarey.bsky.social‬, Christian Gläßel & @kpaula.bsky.social ask if media shapes #Postwar attitudes long-term. Studying anti-government broadcasts in #Nepal, they find those exposed were less optimistic about peace, police, and civic activism up to 3 years after the station shut down.

The Most Overlooked Value of Political Protest Small acts of staying quiet may seem merely polite or indifferent, but they can easily spiral.

"One of the most important, and most overlooked, functions of protest is to prevent the dreaded 'spiral of silence,' which can begin when people wrongly believe that their own point of view is not widely shared," Betsy Levy Paluck writes:

New pre-print on support for AI Killer Robots with @tobirommel.bsky.social & @kpaula.bsky.social. We find that the taboo on AI weapons is not strong. Public opposition drops when other states (Allies or Rivals) develop AI weapons. The public follows a security dilemma logic.

AI-generated slop is quietly conquering the internet. Is it a threat to journalism or a problem that will fix itself? Three experts discuss the rise of low-quality content and its implications for the profession, the news industry and the public sphere.
