Really happy to see this piece finally out in @poqjournal.bsky.social. We exploit an unexpected global news event to test exogenous measures of exposure varying in granularity. The results have implications for studies using webtracking data, particularly domain-level measures of news exposure #CSS
Not all news clicks teach us something.

In POQ, Cardenal et al., using digital trace data, find that only article-level exposure to Ukraine stories—not general news browsing—predicted who learned about the Russian invasion.
