- Last day at the conference but still plenty of interesting presentations! @HanneTillemans sheds light on perceptions of political impartiality in news media among citizens, journalists, and politicians. Ideology's impact is profound across all groups! #ica24 #ica_jsd
- Cool study by @MattisNicolas @FSW_VU 🔥 His field experiment highlights how prominent article positioning boosts news selection, engagement, and recall #ica24 @poli_com
- This morning @rptkiddle of @journstudiesVU presented fascinating research on feedback loops (cc @annekroon @KasperWelbers @damian0604). Their work illustrates how digital pathways influence sequential behavior, shedding light on evolving news consumption patterns. #ica24 #ica_jsd

- Meticulous work presented by @CatoWaeterloos (cc @DesireeSchmuck @MichOpgenhaffen @petervanaelst). Her systematic lit review revealed that ‘political knowledge’ is still largely ill-defined and rarely accounts for social media logic #ica24 @poli_com
- Interesting presentation by Sherine Conyers based on +200hrs of field work to see platformization at work in the newsroom and the role metrics play therein 📊Ending with the rhetorical question whether “we want journalism that keeps counting or journalism that counts?”
