Damian Trilling 🟥

Hi all! I'm looking for people to try out my new collaborative writing platform. Think: Overleaf or GDocs for Mkdown LaTeX HTML Typst Quarto Free, open source, and full-featured. Many editors, chat, comments, track changes, history, AI, mobile, templates, etc Would ❤️ any feedback! librepaper.org

Warum wird ein Portal mitgenommen, dass nicht bereit ist, die Selbstverpflichtungserklärung des Deutschen Presserats zu unterschreiben und sich damit ethischen Maßstäben für die eigene Arbeit zu unterwerfen? Nius hat mit Journalismus nichts zu tun.

Wunderschöner Case: Zuerst waren da die Leserbriefe mit den typischen Narrativen. Dann druckt die Kronen Zeitung diese ab, die russische Botschaft postet sie und der Meta-Algo blendet ungefragt ein So verbinden sich die Offline- und Online-Welt, siehe Talkshows/Gastkommentare die im Web landen

Waarom ‘polarisatie’ de verkeerde term is Entering my new era as TikTok influencer through a video by rewindhuman: www.instagram.com/reels/Dej9bT...

📢 Maak journalistiek werk niet strafbaar! Oproep aan de Tweede Kamer: stem tegen het wetsvoorstel over de verheerlijking van terrorisme!

One more day to apply! 👇 I highly recommend the group & project -- the kick-off was impressive! @ingmarweber.de @i2sc.net

Surely people's response to this will be "we need more powerful AI to prevent hacks like this" rather than "we need fridges to not have wifi" or at least "we need fridges to have a local override button" www.bbc.com/news/article...

„Preisträger Sands warf der Bundesregierung unanständiges Schweigen zum Vorgehen Israels im Gazastreifen und gegen Palästinenser vor. Deutschland habe in der Vergangenheit viele Gräuel angeprangert. „Doch zu Israel, zum Gazastreifen und zum Westjordanland ist das deutsche Schweigen bis heute laut«.

Neu: Im @derstandard.at analysiere ich, was es mit der leit- & massenmedialen Hatz gegen Die Linke auf sich hat. Und ordne die neuesten Studien zur deutschen Nahost-Berichterstattung ein. Essenz: Wer aus dem journalistischen Maschinenraum heraus Medienmisstrauen erzeugt, gefährdet die Demokratie.

Deutscher Journalismus hat es leider vergessen: Die Skandalwahl war Sachsen Anhalt. Nicht Berlin.

📣 Deadline extended! If you think this could be the right position for you, don’t miss the opportunity to apply. 👇✨

Dit zouden verslaggevers die lokale politiek verslaan ook eens goed moeten lezen. Uitstekend betoog van Amsterdamse collega’s: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

"Het verschil in framing is veelzeggend: waar de AIVD en NCTV de rellen op het Malieveld beschreven als „de meest gewelddadige manifestatie van rechts-extremisme in Nederland sinds lange tijd”, werd aan de talkshowtafels hetzelfde geweld teruggebracht tot uit de hand gelopen middag van hooligans."

Enorm belangrijke bijdrage van @sterknikki.bsky.social en collega’s over de normalisering van uiterst rechts rechts gedachtegoed op tv: "Neonazi’s verweren zich bij de rechter met ‘op televisie zeggen ze het ook’": www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

arXiv limits people to 2 submissions a month, to hold back the tide of AI papers. Feels entirely sensible - today I happened to notice one person had submitted 3 papers, all AI-assisted, in September. Totally out of step with academic norms and simply not sustainable blog.arxiv.org/2026/10/01/u...

This whole “He may hate immigrants but at least we agreed the tapas was great!” media sub-genre is the lowest level of normalizing bullshit and needs to go. And, it’s based on the idiotic premise that left-wingers and right-wingers never interact. Really? Let me introduce you to families & work.

🚨 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐀𝐈?🚨 This is the first systematic, field-wide, international empirical investigation of generative AI practices in communication research. We surveyed 1,138 scholars across 77 countries + did 4 focus groups. Small thread with 5 key findings🧵

I do not want to be the party pooper, and I very much appreciate all the voluntary work put into it-but in this day and age, is it really the best way to do this with one of the big for-profit publishers, instead of a community-owned diamond open access thing? It’s not *that* expensive or difficult…

Thoughts on the unannounced (?) new submission/presentation policy for #ICA27? In principle I can see some form of limits supporting equality, but surely limits on submissions (say 3?) would be a better approach, especially given the ICA review lottery and the risk of a single ‘shot’ at it…

📢 CALL FOR PAPERS! We invite submissions for the Political Methodology Seminar Series on frontiers in empirical political science and CSS. We welcome research examining political behaviour, public opinion, comparative politics, and CSS. Research on adjacent topics are also highly encouraged.

Social media algorithms don't allow us to understand or control what we see online and why... until now! Top scholars @jonathanstray.com and @noupside.bsky.social are sharing @mysky.social, a tool that allows users to adjust their feed’s priorities and explains why certain posts appear over others.

🎉 New editorial: "Be Careful What You Prompt For: Generative AI in Computational Communication Research." It opens our special issue of 12 open-access papers, co-edited with @wrahool.bsky.social and @ewam.bsky.social 🧵 doi.org/10.5117/CCR2...

Are you interested in learning about the Societal and Environmental Risks of AI (SER-AI)? Then you should consider attending the SER-AI symposium. During this event, researchers from computer and social science will meet to talk about the impacts AI has in our cognition, democracies, and planet.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Claes de Vreese, UvA professor of AI and society, has been awarded the Stevin Prize, the highest scientific honour awarded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) for research with societal impact.

Geen Google- of Apple-account? Dan kun je straks geen gebruikmaken van NL Wallet. De mogelijke opvolger van DigiD blijkt afhankelijk van de Amerikaanse techbedrijven. Net nu we opgelucht ademhalen omdat DigiD niet in Amerikaanse handen lijkt te vallen, begint met NL Wallet het riedeltje opnieuw.

Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)

This is a fairly large (EUR 29M) initiative at Universität des Saarlandes around using data and computational methods to understand and support societal tranformations. As part of this initiative, *five* professorships will be created. Talk to me about details.

The contrast between the number of media requests I got when rich people on a cruise were facing a deadly, but contained outbreak versus now that some of the poorest people in the world are facing a deadly and devastating epidemic is just so so stark and it just really annoys the hell out of me.

Early in my PhD, a colleague finishing his (highly rated) dissertation told me he was stuck on the introduction. After years of hard work, he could no longer find an argument for why any of it actually mattered. This stuck with me ever since. A🧵 about this paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

German SPD, Greens, and Linke will stop posting on X. An important step and signal. X and its owner have long become a megaphone for the far right, a venue that is actively used to encourage abuse and violence. It‘s simply shameful how many in politics, media, and academia still actively post there.

“The common metascientific practice of referring to an average replicability rate for a diverse population of results ... sometimes even across disciplines (e.g., Tyner et al., 2026), is statistically fraught and misleading.” Excellent work by @devezer.bsky.social and Erkan Buzbas.

Zo werkt het de facto monopolie: als Mediahuis en DPG er beiden beter van worden, stopt de papieren krant. De eilanden zijn stap 1; andere ‘onrendabele’ gebieden zullen volgen. Daarna het hele land. De winsten van genoemde bedrijven zullen sterk toenemen; veel abonnees teleurgesteld achterblijven.
