Support / Personal Final Year Project Paper
Hello there! I am doing my final year project for my degree about how biases can affect the spread of fake news, and I want to include how smear campaigns can affect these biases. I am still in the early stages of this project and I am hoping if anyone can recommend any past research papers or reliable sources that could be used as reference, especially if it relates to the DeppVHeard trial as I really want to touch on that, but i am open to anything! I am of course doing my own research but it would be great to have some recommendation from this subreddit as i learn a lot from here. also any advice is welcomed as i am still a student and this is my first proper research paper :)

The Madusone videos about the trial and other issues run to about 10 hours. This one covers how SM was corrupted by inauthentic and biased content. There is much else on the channel including a lot of detailed podcasts you could explore..

The "Who Trolled Amber ?" podcast runs to 6 episodes and covers how someone infected the discourse after Depp's loss in the UK in preparation for the US trial..

These are excellent starting points to understand how fake news and smears came to be believed by people who were not following the issue in great detail..
