At #ICA20 #ica_jsd @dragz @rasmus_kleis and me present a study that examines relationships between news literacy and using social media for news. We take DNR 2018 data and compare findings across 5 countries πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺπŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ We define news literacy as knowledge about how the news is made (cc @sethdashley). We developed a measure that aims to compare this knowledge across countries - this is a very challenging thing to do. But (which is why?), comparative research on the topic is largely missing.
