description |
This study investigates the exposure and response to fake news of Filipino immigrants
in Singapore by examining their media consumption habits and how these habits are
shaped by acculturation strategies and other motivations for media use, and taking a
look at their strategies when faced with disinformation. Through in-depth, semistructured interviews with 29 Filipino immigrants in Singapore, this study finds that
participation in the host country’s cultural space and preservation of connection with
the country of origin, together with other needs that the individual wants to gratify,
such as the need for psychologically consistent information, are factors that shape the
choice of messages, sources and channels. These media patterns affect the exposure
and susceptibility of Filipino immigrants in Singapore in several ways. The study finds
that there is a similarity between the messages sought and the fake news received, and
many rely on interpersonal and alternative media sources that supply pro-attitudinal
information. The identification of strategies employed when faced with
disinformation, such as dependence on personal judgement and preferred external
sources, also allows for the understanding of how media consumers can be susceptible
to fake news. |
