Christian Gayle: Stop Spreading the News; ideology and the Spread of Fake News Within Social Media

June 21, 2018 12:32 am Published by

The purpose of Christian’s project titled Stop Spreading the News; ideology and the Spread of Fake News Within Social Media was to explore how partisan ideals can facilitate the spread of fake news, and he examined how fake news can spread through social media. We were very impressed with Christian's understanding of the problem and his methods for studying fake news and how and when it is shared by users.  We were also fascinated by his studies into what people do when they realize that they have posted, shared or retweeted a fake news article.
