#APSA2021 isn't over yet! There are 39 virtual panels starting... right.... now! Our session on racial justice is sponsored by @poli_com and @APSA_REP. #polcomm 
First up is @SamGubitz making his final APSA presentation with an argument that incivility plays a crucial role in unequal democracies, providing marginalized groups with a way to disrupt the status quo.
Next up, @joshuadarr presents an experiment showing that Whites high in racial resentment/low in racial sympathy are less likely to read news w. racial justice frame, more likely to oppose making voting easier (w special shout-out to the late @pmartjo for supporting the project).
[Thread on 'the other 98%' project of @ERCEXPO, 1/1/] What does #PolComm and #polsci often study? Exposure to news, esp to partisan news. BUT across 43mln visits in our trace data from 2 US studies, < 2% were visits to news domains, half of which to partisan news domains! 👇👇👇
[2/2] BERT classifier for political content titles (here github.com/ercexpo/politi…) shows that <50% of what people consumed on news domains is nonpolitical (puzzles, recipes, travel)
[3/3] An average participant read only one political news article for every 400 sites they visited. Granted, we do not have mobile and social media data, huge limitation (common in similar work) given that Americans increasingly use mobile for news.
