CALL FOR PAPERS

8th Economics of Media Bias Workshop
Frankfurt, May 8-9, 2025

We invite researchers to submit papers or extended abstracts to the 8th Economics of Media Bias Workshop. The workshop will be a platform to discuss current research and explore new collaboration scenarios, focusing on media bias in news markets and on social media and other digital platforms. Research on any form of media bias is welcome, including ideological bias, advertiser bias, attention bias, gender/minority bias, as well as related phenomena, such as dis- and misinformation, conspiracy theories, and hate speech. Main questions of interest are:
  • How can media bias be measured?
  • In which situations is bias driven by the supply side of the news market?
  • When is it caused by the demand side?
  • What are the economic, political, and social consequences of media bias?
  • How can policymakers address these issues?
The workshop will be conducted at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, Germany, and the keynote speech will be delivered by Elliott Ash (ETH Zurich).
