Yet whether these differences produce filter bubble dynamics—gradual narrowing of diversity over time—remains underevaluated. We provide a direct test using donated browsing histories from <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n</jats:italic> = 179 users in the Netherlands spanning approximately 1 year, combining mixed-effects models with a within-between decomposition and a content-level diversity measure capturing semantic differences between consumed articles. Within-person estimates confirm that distributed pathways enhance both outlet and topic diversity relative to direct access. For outlet diversity, search and social media show moderate convergence effects, with their diversity contributions partially eroding over sustained use; topic diversity trajectories show no pathway moderation. The within-between decomposition further reveals that aggregate pathway–diversity associations can mask opposing selection dynamics, underscoring the need for temporally granular, within-person designs when evaluating filter bubble claims.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148355643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing this gap, our study investigates young adults’ tactics for navigating disinformation and the resources they draw from throughout this process. Based on 29 semi-structured interviews with young adults (aged 18–32) in Germany and the Netherlands, we develop a taxonomy of tactics for navigating disinformation. Our comparative analysis reveals that the same tactics are employed in both countries despite different contexts, suggesting transnational mechanisms of how citizens deal with disinformation. We find that young adults’ economic, cultural, social, and personal resources profoundly shape the extent and efficacy of employed tactics. Structural inequalities, resulting in fewer resources, negatively impact the development of resilience to disinformation. Demonstrating how tactics connect to resources, our study provides a contextual perspective to the over-individualized debate on resilience to disinformation, which mainly focuses on literacies and places responsibility on the individual.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148355636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research on media as a tool to mitigate these detrimental effects has predominantly focused on traditional devices, leaving the role of immersive technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), underexplored. Our preregistered laboratory experiment ( <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N</jats:italic> = 114) investigates whether VR-based coping facilitates need restoration and emotion regulation compared to conventional 2D media. After inducing ostracism via Cyberball, participants watched a short video of a social interaction on either a VR headset or a 2D screen. Whereas both coping conditions yielded comparable increases in emotional well-being, VR exposure led to significantly higher need restoration than the same video presented in 2D. Mediation analyses indicated indirect effects of VR exposure on both need restoration and emotion regulation via spatial presence, but not via social presence or self-presence. These findings underscore VR’s potential as an effective coping tool following social exclusion.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148355641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing Critical Technocultural Discourse Analysis, we identify the artifacts, practices, and beliefs embedded in these interlocking components. We argue that the Effect operates as a neoliberal racial project by encoding racial misrepresentation, enshrining racialized sorting, and enshrouding racialized desirability. Under the illusion of choice, users become “unwitting constituents” reproducing color lines of racialized masculinity, although some mobilize strategic essentialism for racial empowerment. TikTok’s architecture shields accountability and engenders “cybertypes” unchecked. We propose the notion of “entertainment laundering” to describe how online entertainment activities insidiously whitewash racist content playfully, performatively, and publicly.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148342100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines interdependent patterns of attention allocation on a social technology platform. We collected digital traces and personnel records from a European aviation company and analyzed 56,502 time-stamped communicative events of 3346 workers using bipartite relational event models. The findings show that structural and temporal mechanisms of attention dynamics collectively shape worker engagement on the platform: popular threads are more likely to attract additional attention; workers tend to engage in threads where their colleagues are active; workers revisit threads they have previously participated in; and highly active workers are inclined to contribute to less popular threads. This study offers a conceptual and analytic frame that demonstrates the value of viewing social technology platforms as an interdependent network of workers making decisions as to how to allocate limited attention resources.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148321869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alongside this digitalization of borders, another shift has taken place: the growing alignment of the digital realm with national logics, or what we call the <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">bordering of the digital</jats:italic> . While research on this transformation has expanded, little is known about how it is understood and experienced by ordinary citizens. To address this gap, this study draws on interviews and diaries with 30 participants from the UK, Brazil and Ukraine. Findings reveal a sharp disjunction between a placeless imagination of the digital world and practices rooted in national territories and networks. We discuss the factors underpinning this disjunction and its implications for the power struggles between states and tech corporations, the pursuit of digital sovereignty and the future of nationalism in increasingly digitalized societies.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148321870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the lens of governmentality, this research argues that in its moderation of ratings and reviews, Google actively suppresses carceral information, narratives, and digital trace data related to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) detention facilities. It interrogates Google’s role in shaping the visibility of carceral institutions through content moderation. The study draws on a scraping audit of Google reviews of ICE detention facilities. The governmentality employed by Google shows how search engines can—on an ad hoc basis—limit attempts to circulate carceral narratives. Though this study focuses on carceral institutions in the United States, the method is transferable to other jurisdictions, including to countries, whose governments are now co-producing carceral infrastructure at the request of the Trump administration.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148321868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that understanding the internet’s potential to sustain cultural diversity requires moving beyond studying audience size to consider the mode and location of attention capture. Leveraging longitudinal data from Reddit, I find that communities that shift toward niche content find success not by attracting larger audiences, but instead by capturing deeper engagement in high-traffic hubs shared with the platform’s largest, most visible communities. This is in contrast to offline settings, where niche forms survive only in the periphery. These findings suggest that the internet offers a counterforce to cultural homogeneity in which niche content becomes more accessible and visible within the centers of digital attention.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148321866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study conceptualizes astrology-related communication not as an epistemic claim requiring validation, but as a form of <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">emotional discourse</jats:italic> embedded in platformed public life. Drawing on Affective Publics theory and Uses and Gratifications, the study examines how astrology circulates emotionally within digital environments and how users engage with such content at both collective and individual levels. Using a large-scale computational content analysis, the study analyzes 112,800 English-language astrology-related posts collected from the X platform (formerly Twitter). Sentiment classification was conducted using a transformer-based language model fine-tuned for social media text, complemented by lexicon-based measures of subjectivity and evaluative polarity. The findings reveal that astrology-related discourse is dominated by neutral and positive sentiment, with negative sentiment representing a relatively small proportion of overall communication. Positive expressions exhibit higher levels of subjectivity and evaluative intensity, indicating strong personal engagement, while negative expressions tend to be more restrained and less personally invested. Moreover, emotionally defensive patterns are rare, indicating that astrology functions as a low-conflict communicative space largely insulated from polarized legitimacy struggles. The study contributes to research on digital culture and emotion by showing how emotionally resonant yet low-stakes discourse sustains participation and affective alignment without polarization, positioning astrology as a salient case of affective publicness in digital media.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148321867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
