Patrick did a tracking study of German FFF supporters and investigated their media repertoires. I'm both extremely proud and happy that he will hang around my lab a bit longer as postdoc in the INDI project: zemki.uni-bremen.de/forschun…

The German interior ministry has recently tried to ban right-wing news outlet COMPACT. But who accesses alt. news sources and what is their relationship to conspiracy theories and Russian propaganda? @SebStier @patrick_zerrer, H. Rauxloh & I had a look: doi.org/10.1080/08838151.202…

Combining online tracking data (mobile and desktop) from over 2,000 users over almost two years with survey data, we find that an affinity for conspiracy myths and a pro Russian stance are relevant positive predictors of alt. news usage.
