More than half of Americans get their news regularly from Tiktok. And this has more than doubled in 5 years. Tiktok has become a key gateway to news and politics.

This makes ownership of and content on the platform even more important.

@hannahdecker.bsky.social continues with insights into her prior research and her plans to understand how social media and personalization can actually benefit democracies (much needed positive focus 😀)

Analysing the Federal election campaign 2025 in Germany, we found only few party ads on #Facebook and #Instagram. Perceived targeting was negatively associated with lower vote choice certainty. However, targeting of the preferred party did neither affect certainty nor party preference.

Yesterday, I shared the latest update on a project using a mobile tracking app to analyse political #targeting in election campaigns in collaboration with @ymeier.bsky.social and Abdul Obeid.

Today I talked about historical #VR and transportation. Lea Frentzel-Beyme, Nicole Krämer and I showed that transportation was related to higher positive and negative emotions as well as story consistent beliefs, while knowledge was not related to perceived transportation during a VR experience.

Mit dem Aus für politische #Ads wird die Reichweite für Inhalte, die #Meta als politisch oder gesellschaftlich relevant einschätzt, voraussichtlich weiter eingeschränkt. Im @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy durfte ich ein paar Gedanken zu dem Thema teilen.

Preparing for #ICA25 in Denver with a little time off was not a bad choice of @ymeier.bsky.social , @biancanowak.bsky.social, and myself. While battling jet lag, we had time to see some of the beautiful scenery Colorado has to offer and switch off from research for a while (at least on the hikes 😉).

In a literature review on the #personalisation of content in political campaigns, I summarise findings on political #microtargeting and propose a framework that outlines relationships between personalisation factors and their (potential) effects in persuasive communication. 🎯📖
