论文摘要
如今，估计有75％的英国公共访问信息有关在线政治和公共生活，而40％的公共访问信息通过社交媒体进行了。考虑到这种情况，我们在2019年英国大选的领导下调查了社交媒体上的信息共享模式，并询问：（1）在投票前在Twitter上共享哪种类型的政治新闻和信息？ （2）其中多少是极端主义者，耸人听闻或阴谋垃圾新闻？ （3）这些网站在领先几周的Facebook上进行了多少公众参与，以及（4）垃圾新闻媒体传达的最常见叙述和主题是什么
Today, an estimated 75% of the British public access information about politics and public life online, and 40% do so via social media. With this context in mind, we investigate information sharing patterns over social media in the lead-up to the 2019 UK General Elections, and ask: (1) What type of political news and information were social media users sharing on Twitter ahead of the vote? (2) How much of it is extremist, sensationalist, or conspiratorial junk news? (3) How much public engagement did these sites get on Facebook in the weeks leading and (4) What are the most common narratives and themes relayed by junk news outlets
