Abstract
News stories and news columns revealed as deceptive were more likely than presumably authentic ones to treat members of social groups as identical, especially when referring to nationalities (e.g., Iraqis) and regions larger than a nation (e.g., Europeans). Deceptive articles also were more negative in overall tone. Findings support the theory of auto-maticity of stereotyping—unless a perceiver is able and motivated not to stereotype, stereotyping tends to occur. Implications for journalists are discussed.
