In this new paper from @uibcet.bsky.social, we explore what makes experiments stick. By assessing four experiments in the cities of Bergen and Groningen, we find that persistent relational work is crucial in embedding experiments. Link to paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
In the next phase of the study, we used real and recent examples of climate news with different anchoring and visuals, to explore sensemaking in depth. Also out today, in Journalism! #CommSky @solveighk.bsky.social @uibcet.bsky.social
