From Lea, these are the most discussed #CSCW2026 papers on Bluesky/ATProto. There are also quite a few papers about Bluesky/ATProto! Fun to filter and explore the program this way, even if you're not attending.

At #CSCW2026 hosting a workshop on the #FutureofWork in #CivicTech & #PublicInterestTech this wednesday! It's been fun to dream this session into existence with collaborators from academia & civil society.

Come thru if you're in SLC - we'll be envisioning futures for PIT & civic tech work in 2040 ✨

I've added #CSCW2026 to Lea! Schedule, program that you can filter by topic and people you follow, a custom feed, and more!

Sadly I'm not attending, but if you are, try it out and let me know if you spot bugs or have feature requests! I can usually respond and implement things pretty quickly.

At #CSCW2026 I’m presenting a poster on News Compass, which pairs research with its news and social media coverage, so journalists can see what’s been covered, missed, or distorted. We're also (slowly) rolling it out as a free tool for journalists, with support from @knightlab.northwestern.edu!
Research poster: “News Compass: Enabling Awareness on the Science Beat” by Sachita Nishal, Ágnes Horvát, and Nick Diakopoulos (Northwestern). It includes a QR code to newscompass.knightlab.com, marked “Live now.” The tool links science papers to their news and social media coverage and adds heuristics like coverage counts and LLM-generated news angles. In a two-week deployment, nine science journalists used it to find uncovered papers, story ideas, and sources. At the bottom is a streetlight illustration. News Compass widens the cone of light, so journalists can see more published research, but a crowd stands in it. In the dark, two figures trade a tip about an embargoed paper. Caption: easier monitoring moves competition for exclusives toward access to sources. “How can we design an information ecosystem where that competition matters less?”

Hi #CSCW2026! I'm excited to present today our new paper with @dowonkim.bsky.social & @cbuntain.bsky.social on understanding how young adults make sense of the news on their social media feeds. Here is a quick 🧵
A 2×2 grid of line charts comparing two recommendation feeds across four metrics as a function of position k (x-axis, 1–15). A shared legend in the top-right panel defines the series: a solid blue line for "Curated Feeds (Mean)" with a light blue shaded 95% CI band, and a dashed red line for "Engagement-Maximizing Feed." Ideological Slant (top left, y-axis −1.0 to 1.0, left → right): the blue curated feed stays slightly negative and flat (about −0.2 to −0.1 across k). The red engagement feed starts near −1.0 at k=1, rises steeply to a positive peak of about +0.5 around k=4, then declines gradually toward ~0 by k=15, crossing zero near k=13. Cross-Cutting Exposure (top right, y-axis 0.0 to 1.0): both lines rise sharply from 0 at k=1 and converge to roughly 0.7–0.8; the red line sits slightly above the blue line for most of the range. Trustworthiness (bottom left, y-axis 0 to 100): the blue curated feed starts high (~85), dips to about 75 mid-range, and stays around 75–78. The red engagement feed starts near 50, dips to ~45 at k=2, then climbs steadily to about 72 by k=15, narrowing the gap. Credibility (bottom right, y-axis 0.0 to 1.0): the blue curated feed starts near 0.78 and declines gradually to about 0.62. The red engagement feed is flat at 0.0 until k=4, then rises to about 0.55 by k=15, remaining below the blue line throughout. Overall, the figure shows the engagement-maximizing feed moving from more extreme and low-quality toward the curated feed's profile as k increases, while never fully matching it on trustworthiness and credibility.
