Algorithmic Distribution of News

How platform algorithms determine news reach and what that means for democracy

The Mechanism

The algorithmic distribution of news through Facebook, Google, Apple News, and other platforms determines which journalism reaches which audiences. The algorithms are proprietary. Their effects on news consumption are documented: engagement optimization rewards emotional arousal over informational accuracy, personalization narrows the information environment, and outrage-producing content is consistently amplified over calm analytical content.

The Effects

The documented effects of algorithmic news distribution: engagement optimization rewards emotional arousal over informational accuracy; personalization narrows the information environment producing filter bubble effects; and the specific amplification of outrage-producing content over calm analytical content is a consistent feature of engagement-optimized systems.
