LeverhulmeNewsUse

We will soon create a new account on a different platform and we will share it here, for those of you who want to receive updates about the project. Until then, you can visit the project's website: surrey.ac.uk/research-proje… and/or email us at: LeverhulmeNewsUse@Surrey.ac.uk.

As academics and as individuals, we strive to create communities of hope, solidarity, equity and inclusion. We cannot find space in a medium owned by people who support politics of hate and division.

📢 The Leverhulme News Use Project is leaving X! We would like to let you know that this project account will stop being updated from today. It will remain as is but in inactive mode.

Little update on our fieldwork: we are quickly approaching the end of the 1st round of data collection. Proud to say, it has been a successful one 🥳Having spoken with 30 people some key themes have organically emerged and now we are getting ready to dive into analysis. Excited!

Some of the questions we're asking: Is news important to parents when it comes to making decisions? Who do they trust for their information and how do they go about finding what is accurate and true? How do moms and dads teach children how to best engage with news?

The weather in the UK is not favourable right now, but that's OK. We are getting ready to start #fieldwork for our #LeverhulmeNewsUse project really soon and the excitement prevails! Want to know how #parents engage with the #news during #crises? Follow this account for updates
