FakeNews: Political news on Russia and its neighbors on social media: major content features, factors of trust and news truthfulness detection by users of different countries (2019-2021) (RSF)

Project head: Olessia Koltsova
Research team: Sergei Koltsov, Anastasia Kazun, Sergei Pashakhin, Yadviga Sinyavskaya

FakeNews project aims to study how people perceive online news and how they orient in a growing sea of virtually unverifiable information; to what degree they are vulnerable to fake news and what influences their ability to detect them.

We plan to develop a model of authenticity perception and find factors influencing the ability to detect deception in a situation of varying tension between countries under news coverage.

The project is rooted in various approaches from sociology, political communication, media studies and social psychology.

Another outcome of the project is a more specific picture of mutual representations of Russia and two close neighbors in news; and problematic aspects of such representations.

The project is supported by the Russian Science Foundation under grant N 19-18-00206.
