🎙️ Welcome back to Revise and Resubmit — the podcast where ideas get their second wind and research gets its rhythm! 🌊

Today, we’re diving into the slippery world of truth and lies — into the noisy, neon-lit alleys of social media, where fake news and true news dance side by side, whispering to our biases.

🧠 The paper we're unpacking? Fake News and True News Assessment: The Persuasive Effect of Discursive Evidence in Judging Veracity.

Written by Abayomi Baiyere, Jan M. Bauer, Ioanna Constantiou, and Daniel Hardt — and published in MIS Quarterly (yes, that’s one of the elite FT50 journals!) on September 1, 2025, Volume 49, Issue 3.

💡 Their research doesn’t just ask if people can spot falsehoods; it asks something sharper: can we teach people to reason through evidence—discursive evidence—rather than rely on those blunt “true” or “false” flags scattered across social media?

🌐 Through their experiments, the authors reveal that evidence with real heft changes how people judge both true and false claims—almost like handing someone a new lens to see through the fog of misinformation. But sometimes that lens distorts, and that’s where it gets fascinating.

So here’s the big question we’ll wrestle with today — 🕵️‍♀️

When we learn to question news through reasoning instead of rules, do we become wiser… or simply more confident in our illusions?

A huge thanks to Abayomi Baiyere, Jan M. Bauer, Ioanna Constantiou, and Daniel Hardt — and to the Association for Information Systems for publishing this work in such a prestigious FT50 journal. 🙌
