We are pleased to share that our latest research results from the Fake Photos project were recently presented at the 5th Lisbon Winter School for the Study of Communication, held from January 7 to 10, 2025.
This year's conference theme, "MEDIA AND FEAR," provided an excellent platform for examining the complex relationship between emotions and media perception. Our presentation, titled "Truth or Deception? How Emotions and Beliefs Shape Perceptions of Photojournalistic Authenticity" presented by Beata Pacula, explored how emotions influence the perception of photojournalistic images. Our research contributed to the discussions on emotions, radicalization, and conspiracy theories during on the main conference sessions.
Thank you to all who participated and engaged in this vital discourse!
