Coming clean Thanks to the 2016 election, consumers are getting a crash course in the “fake” economy, which encompasses all manner of bogus content—news, social media posts, online reviews…you name it.  As such, content creators are being put on notice: Consumers want the truth and are actively seeking it, as a recent Origin/Hill Holliday survey found.

The study, highlighted in this week’s infographic pick, shows how growing awareness of fake news and the like is changing how consumers interact with digital content. In fact, respondents cited quality, truth, and authenticity as the top attributes they look for when choosing a brand, presenting an opportunity for content publishers to differentiate themselves by “valuing the truth,” researchers say.
