Table 1. Predictors of personal news curation: Multilevel binomial regression model with random intercept for country effects.
Table 2. Mean amount of news brands used for users who report specific curation behavior and those who do not.
Figure 2. Proportion of respondents who use both a news source with a left-leaning audience and a source with a right-leaning audience (“mixed repertoire”). The ideological leaning of each news source with more than 50 users is accessed through political orientation of its audience within the Reuters Digital News Survey.
