4 Echo Chambers Online?: Politically Motivated Selective Exposure among Internet News Users

5 Summary The paper performs a survey study to examine how online news reading affects opinion reinforcement 700 people were asked to read news on two news sites Individuals more like to read news stories that reinforces their opinions than those which challenge them Important finding: Having decided to view a news story, evidence of an aversion to opinion challenges disappears: There is no evidence that individuals abandon news stories that contain information with which they disagree. People don t actively seek to exclude information that challenges their opinions, unlike what popular knowledge indicated

6 Exposure to ideologically diverse news and opinion on Facebook

9 How did we get here? What do you think was the reasoning behind online platforms promoting/encouraging polarization or selective exposure?

10 Perhaps one of the biggest strengths of social computing systems is that they allow people to find like minded others and form communities. This seems to be at odds with the dangers of polarization.

11 Influence in the political sphere: 62% of adults in the US use social media to consume news, and 18% of adults are frequent consumers Pew Internet

Figure 4: Most linked to news sources 20 conservative and top 20 liberal bl 8/29/ /15/2004. An interesting topic for further study would be to compare how balanced bloggers presentation of the facts are compared with that of mainstream media journalists.

18 To what extent is polarization a new problem with social technologies, as against an offline phenomenon?

19 What is the tentative interaction between selective exposure and people s belief systems (wrt information consumption online)? Can we quantify it?

20 Reading opinion-reinforcing content can have widespread impact on our perceptions what is real and what is fake. Could this impact our credibility perceptions?

21 If you were to design a tool that works in tandem with Twitter or Facebook, how would you encourage diverse exposure?

22 Remember, humans have agency, so polarization should have something to do beyond just homophily and network structure. How would you incorporate a user s intrinsic attributes to discourage polarized views of information?

23

24 What makes curbing polarization in social computing systems challenging?

25 A deeper question (from TechCrunch): Why would [Facebook] want to change? And are people even ready for a fair Feed?
