Krisztina Burai has been awarded a scholarship within the EKÖP – University Research Scholarship Programme. The 5-month project, titled The Impact of Individual Selection on News Exposure on Facebook, will explore how individual curation practices shape political news exposure in social media environments.
The research aims to analyze:
- attitudes toward using social media as a source of information,
- levels of political interest and party preferences,
- and the use of affordances that enable users to curate their news feeds.
The project will further examine how these personalization practices influence exposure to political news and the extent to which such exposure aligns with respondents’ party preferences.
