Despite the pervasiveness of digital disinformation in society, little is known about the individual characteristics that make some users more susceptible to erroneous information uptake than others, effectively dividing the media audience into prone and resistant groups. This study identifies and tests procedural news knowledge as a consequential civic resource with the capacity to inoculate audiences from disinformation and close this “resistance gap.” Engaging the persuasion knowledge model, the study utilizes data from two national surveys to demonstrate that possessing working knowledge of how the news media operate aids in the identification and effects of fabricated news and native advertising.

赋予对数字虚假信息的抵抗力：程序性新闻知识的接种影响

尽管数字虚假信息在社会中无处不在，但人们对某些用户比其他用户更容易被错误信息吸收的个体特征知之甚少，从而有效地将媒体受众分为易感群体和抗拒群体。这项研究确定并测试程序性新闻知识作为一种重要的公民资源，具有使受众免受虚假信息并缩小这种“抵抗差距”的能力。该研究采用说服知识模型，利用来自两项全国性调查的数据来证明掌握新闻媒体运作方式的工作知识有助于识别虚假新闻和原生广告并产生影响。
