As the presidential campaign goes viral, so, too, does misinformation. #TEXASMoody researchers examine political trends ahead of Election Day For anyone who closely studies U.S. elections, this cycle has proven rife with opportunities to explore new facets of political culture, including how meme makers, social media influencers, AI technologies and misinformation are shaping campaigns, affecting voter turnout, and even potentially delegitimizing the election results when they do come in next month. “I strongly believe that when a politician says a piece of misinformation, it causes a lot of damage; a regular citizen, when they say something on social media, doesn’t quite have the same amount of attention. This is why I've become really interested in political and news influencers; they increasingly have this opinion leader role. It’s important to understand that they can also unintentionally spread misinformation.” —Josephine Lukito/UT Austin School of Journalism and Media Learn more: https://bit.ly/lukito24 Story by Mary Huber
