There are two challenges to this normative expectation: the prevalence of unreliable content online; and the prominence of misinformation within individual news diets. Here, we assess these challenges using an observational panel tracking the browsing behavior of\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2248 140,000 individuals in the United States for 12\u2009months (January\u2013December 2018). Our results show that panelists who are exposed to misinformation consume more reliable news and from a more ideologically diverse range of sources. In other words, exposure to unreliable content is higher among the better informed. This association persists after we control for partisan leaning and consider inter- and intra-person variation. These findings highlight the tension between the positive and negative consequences of increased exposure to news content online.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14614448231196863","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]],"date-time":"2023-09-26T05:10:39Z","timestamp":1695705039000},"page":"1526-1543","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The puzzle of misinformation: Exposure to unreliable content in the United States is higher among the better informed"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5410-9712","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alvin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minnesota, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2642-4760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tian","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Bail\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Allcott H Gentzkow M (2017) Social media and fake news in the 2016 election.
