New article: Why do citizens choose to read fact-checks about the Russian war in Ukraine? Our study shows that citizens in 19 countries (n = 19,037) are more inclined to seek truth rather than confirm existing beliefs. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

🚨Publication alert:

News users are likely to regard information on the Russian war in Ukraine as false. Info is seen as deliberative deception and Russian sources are substantially more likely to be blamed for falsehoods.
