  1. New #OpenAccess publication on #NewsRecommendation Systems (NRS): doi.org/10.1177/08944393221149

    In an experiment, we test whether exposure to #News selected by content-based #NRS leads to more #Polarization than exposure to random news items.

    Results:
    - Very limited overall effects on polarization (= not supporting the #FilterBubble notion)
    - But: If #Algorithm overemphasizes articles with #NegativeSentiment, #AffectivePolarization rises alongside reading time
