In episode 95, Shiri Melumad from the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Wharton School of Business discusses her research showing that when \u2013 much like the children\u2019s game \u201ctelephone\u201d \u2013 news is repeatedly retold, it undergoes a stylistic transformation through which the original facts are increasingly replaced by opinions and interpretations, with a slant toward negativity. Her article \u201cThe dynamics of distortion: How successive summarization alters the retelling of news\u201d, was published with Robert Meyer and Yoon Duk Kim, on January 7, 2021 in the Journal of Marketing Research.\n\nPositively Negative - Shiri MelumadPositively Negative - Shiri MelumadPositively Negative - Shiri Melumad\xa0Positively Negative - Shiri MelumadPositively Negative - Shiri MelumadPositively Negative - Shiri Melumad {{svg_share_icon}}Click bottom of waveform to add your commentsSubscribe: iTunes | Google Podcasts | Google Play | Spotify | RSS jQuery(document).ready(function ($){var settings_ap7679 = { design_skin: "skin-wave" ,autoplay: "off",disable_volume:"default" ,loop:"off" ,cue: "on" ,embedded: "off" ,preload_method:"metadata" ,design_animateplaypause:"default" ,skinwave_dynamicwaves:"off" ,skinwave_enableSpectrum:"off" ,skinwave_enableReflect:"on",playfrom:"off",default_volume:"default",disable_scrub:"off",soundcloud_apikey:"" ,skinwave_comments_enable:"on",settings_php_handler:window.ajaxurl,skinwave_mode:"alternate",skinwave_wave_mode:"canvas",pcm_data_try_to_generate: "on","pcm_notice": "off","notice_no_media": "on",design_color_bg: "111111",design_color_highlight: "FF4C65",skinwave_wave_mode_canvas_waves_number: "3",skinwave_wave_mode_canvas_waves_padding: "1",skinwave_wave_mode_canvas_reflection_size: "0.25",skinwave_wave_mode_canvas_mode:"normal",preview_on_hover:"off",skinwave_comments_playerid:"7679",embed_code:""\n,enable_embed_button:"on",php_retriever:"https://www.parsingscience.org/wp-content/plugins/dzs-zoomsounds/soundcloudretriever.php" }; try{ dzsap_init(".ap_idx_7679_48",settings_ap7679); }catch(err){ console.warn("cannot init player", err); } }); \n\xa0\nWebsites and other resources\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\tShiri's website and Twitter\n\tShiri on Knowledge @ Wharton \xa0\n\tVox article on Shiri's research into the effect space constraints have on what people share\n\n\n\n\n\nNews and Media\n\n div.altmetric-embed {flex-shrink: 2; -webkit-flex-shrink: 2;} \n\xa0\n\ufeff\n\nBonus Clips\n\n\nClips available include ...\nFull episode with available download\nMore coming soon\n\n\n\U0001f50a Access bonus content here.\n\n\n \nMake a one-time donation via PayPal.\n\n\n\nOr support us for as little as $1 per month at Patreon.
