This timely research project addresses public awareness and understanding of fact-checking in the UK, evaluating the role of political ideology, party allegiance and news media consumption in the formation of attitudes. A two-phase, mixed methods approach is proposed with a broad survey to glean quantitative data, followed by qualitative focus groups with purposive sampling to ensure diversity of age, gender, politics and news consumption habits. The applicant makes a strong case for the urgency of this audience research and its fit with the 'Journalism & Democracy' pathway. Public perceptions of fact-checking are under-researched compared to the practice itself, and existing research focuses mainly on US. Moreover, with its aim of teasing apart media consumption, attitudes towards the media, political convictions, exposure to disinformation and attitudes to fact-checking for contentious issues (e.g., Brexit reforms, where partisan news consumption habitats potentially amplify differences and fuel polarisation), the project has strong impact potential.

这个及时的研究项目涉及公众对英国事实核对事实核对的认识，评估了政治意识形态，党派忠诚和新闻媒体消费在形成态度中的作用。提出了一种两阶段的混合方法方法，并进行了广泛的调查，以收集定量数据，然后进行定性焦点小组，并进行有目的的抽样，以确保年龄，性别，政治和新闻消费习惯的多样性。申请人为这项听众的研究及其符合“新闻与民主”途径的紧迫性做出了有力的理由。与实践本身相比，公众对事实核对的看法的研究不足，现有研究主要关注我们。此外，旨在嘲笑媒体的消费，对媒体的态度，政治信念，对虚假信息的暴露和对有争议问题的事实进行事实核对的态度（例如，英国脱欧改革，党派新闻消费栖息地，可能会扩大差异的差异和燃料极限），该项目具有强大的影响。
