We consider a cheap‐talk setting with two senders and a continuum of receivers with heterogenous preferences. Each receiver is constrained to listen to one of the senders but can choose which sender to listen to. The introduction of a second sender facilitates more informative communication and even enables full communication for a large set of sender preference pairs. We use the model to assess the size and characteristics of sender audiences, the amount of information communicated, and the impact of the senders' biases on the receivers' actions.

听觉受限，听众对齐和专家交流

我们考虑了一个便宜的通话设置，其中有两个发送者和一个具有异类偏好的接收者连续体。每个接收者都必须收听一个发送者，但可以选择要收听的发送者。第二个发送方的引入促进了更多信息的交流，甚至使大量发送方首选项对的完整通信成为可能。我们使用该模型来评估发送者受众的规模和特征，所传达的信息量以及发送者的偏见对接收者行为的影响。
