My takeaway: People tend to be skeptical overall––and for some, this skepticism seems to be directed toward mainstream media. This is my first-ever first-authored publication! 🎉 Thank you to Michael Hameleers, @eddahumprecht.bsky.social@judith-moeller.bsky.social for supervising me :)

You can find some more references to cross-national studies here: www.zora.uzh.ch/id/eprint/15...

There a a couple of studies on limited sets of countries and quality indicators, e.g. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...;

For those who are interested, some more suggestions I got: Wolfsfeld et al: Building Theory in Political Communication Mchangama: Free Speech A History from Socrates to Social Media Matassi&Boczkowski: ToKnow is To Compare Klinger et al: Platforms, power, Politics Krupnikov&Ryan: The Other Divide

Alteady on my list! Thanks!
