This study will examine whether behavioral interventions can be used to influence individuals’ choice of news. In order to do so, we will conduct an online survey experiment, where participants will be asked to scroll through thumbnails of news stories and choose one to inform themselves about COVID-19. While doing so, participants will be randomly exposed to ‘behavioral’ messages, which encourage the choice of high-quality journalism. In our analysis, we will examine whether the participants are more likely to choose news from reputable sources as a result of the interventions. We will also conduct a secondary analysis that tests the mechanisms through which the interventions worked. |
