• Authors: Munif Ishad Mujib, Asta Zelenkauskaite, Jake Ryland Williams
• Abstract summary: The study focuses on the pressures of immediacy on the media ecosystems. By analyzing a large corpora of news outlets that have embedded tweets, this study analyzes tweet embedding practices. We ask two main questions: which types of outlets are quicker to embed tweets, and which types of users' tweets are more likely to be embedded quickly?

• Abstract: The use and selection of user-generated social media content, specifically tweets, as a news source has become an integral part of news production practice. Yet, the mapping and the extent of the nature of the practices in which news outlets integrate social media use are still lacking. This study focuses on the pressures of immediacy on the media ecosystems, i.e., as organizational practices of news outlets that make choices related to social media content integration. By analyzing a large corpora of news outlets that have embedded tweets, this study analyzes tweet embedding practices by specifically focusing on the concept of chronemics, conceptualized here as the time needed to embed tweets. Temporal constraints are particularly pressing for journalistic practices, given the continuous pressures of the 24/7 news cycle. We ask two main questions: which types of outlets are quicker to embed tweets, and which types of users' tweets are more likely to be embedded quickly?

• Incentivizing News Consumption on Social Media Platforms Using Large Language Models and Realistic Bot Accounts [4.06613683722116]
  This project examines how to enhance users' exposure to and engagement with verified and ideologically balanced news on Twitter. We created 28 bots that replied to users tweeting about sports, entertainment, or lifestyle with a contextual reply. To test differential effects by gender of the bots, treated users were randomly assigned to receive responses by bots presented as female or male. We find that the treated users followed more news accounts and the users in the female bot treatment were more likely to like news content than the control.

• Embedding Elites: Examining the Use of Tweets Embedded in Online News Articles across Reliable and Fringe Outlets [0.0]
  We use a mixed-method analysis to examine how the function and frequency of embedded tweets change across outlet reliability and news topic. We find that embedded tweets are most often used to relay the opinions of elites, to syndicate information from another news source, or to self-cite information an outlet previously produced.

  We build a six-year dataset on the Italian vaccine debate and adopt a Bayesian latent space model to identify narrative and selection biases. We found a nonlinear relationship between biases and engagement, with higher engagement for extreme positions. Analysis of news consumption on Twitter reveals common audiences among news outlets with similar ideological positions.

• Manipulating Twitter Through Deletions [64.33261764633504]
  Research into influence campaigns on Twitter has mostly relied on identifying malicious activities from tweets obtained via public APIs. Here, we provide the first exhaustive, large-scale analysis of anomalous deletion patterns involving more than a billion deletions by over 11 million accounts. We find that a small fraction of accounts delete a large number of tweets daily. First, limits on tweet volume are circumvented, allowing certain accounts to flood the network with over 26 thousand daily tweets. Second, coordinated networks of accounts engage in repetitive likes and unlikes of content that is eventually deleted, which can manipulate ranking algorithms.

  We propose a novel approach to identify rumours on Twitter, rather than the usual feature extraction techniques. We use sentence embedding using BERT to represent each tweet's sentences into a vector according to the contextual meaning of the tweet. Our BERT based models improved the accuracy by approximately 10% as compared to previous methods.

  We analyze two social media that enforced opposite moderation methods, Twitter and Gab, to assess the interplay between news consumption and content regulation. Our results show that the presence of moderation pursued by Twitter produces a significant reduction of questionable content. The lack of clear regulation on Gab results in the tendency of the user to engage with both types of content, showing a slight preference for the questionable ones which may account for a dissing/endorsement behavior.

  We introduce an operational definition of echo chambers and perform a massive comparative analysis on 1B pieces of contents produced by 1M users on four social media platforms. We infer the leaning of users about controversial topics and reconstruct their interaction networks by analyzing different features. We find support for the hypothesis that platforms implementing news feed algorithms like Facebook may elicit the emergence of echo-chambers.
