A new paper by @shnoh.bsky.social in Journalism Studies uses Verasight data to explore how news selection can serve as identity signaling in polarized environments. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1461670X.2026.2643758

Excited to share my latest paper with @snsoroka.bsky.social. We show cross-cutting patterns in news commentary, drawing on a unique dataset of 250 million comments from six million users on a news aggregator. If you're interested in collective dynamics of news commentary, this might be for you!
