Can “Related Articles” Correct Misperceptions From False Information on Social Media?
Preliminary findings from two experiments suggest that “related articles” do not reduce belief in headlines that match the reader’s political ideology. Debunking articles do, however, decrease belief in mismatched headlines, suggesting that belief in fake news can be lowered through debunking only if prior beliefs are low to begin with.
