Reflection:
This paper studies the influence of exposure of a news shared or clicked by users of diverse contents. They find out not only users of same diverse contents share news among them, also their friends of different ideology also click the shared contents. Also, its been observed that conservative contents have highest proportion of shares. In my opinion, there are studies on users and shared contents of diverse ideological news by them, but the paper did not take age of users as a factor, which I think could be a good observation for better study the analysis.
