Research on news/ journalism/ social media

Harvard's Nieman Lab has an article listing what they term "10 of the most important pieces of new research into digital and social media published in 2017", but it is really more focused on news/journalism research. Some interesting items e.g. on news avoidance; on whether journalists influence the democratic process.

Earlier stories on the site are also interesting e.g. one on fake news
