Emily Thorson, assistant professor of political science, was interviewed for the New York Times article "Sam Hyde and Other Hoaxes: False Information Trails Texas Shooting." "When you see a piece of misinformation, even when it’s in the context of being corrected and you believe the correction, it can still have lingering effects on your attitudes," says Thorson. 11/07/17
