When individuals assess the truthfulness of political news during an election period, their beliefs become significantly more partisan, research finds.
Journalistic truth isn’t dead, a new study has found, but socioeconomic factors affect people’s ability to identify real news.
A bigger threat to democracy may be lack of access to reliable news sources.
"We don’t know why young people are not as well informed as older people, but age is the single most important predictor of knowledge."
...an increase in straight ticket voting, in turn, translates into more polarized voters, said Charles Angelucci, one of the study's authors.
“We found large variations and inequalities in voters' awareness of news...across age, gender, partisan preference, and socioeconomic status."
