Australia’s most shared stories and why they resonate
‘Teaming’ is when people share stories to make a statement about what they believe in. You’re either for or against a topic. There is no in-between. Taking a stand on social tells your network something about who you are, says Andrew Hunter.
What do you get when cross Pauline Hanson and anti-vaxers? Social napalm, that’s what. Both these hot topics combined for Sky News’ rare foray into our most-shared story list for July.
Sky’s ‘Hanson says vaccines may cause autism’ was built around a quote borrowed from the Daily Mail (who would do something like that?). 
“I have many people who have brought (vaccination) to my attention, that’s why their kids are autistic,’ Hanson told the Daily Mail, according to Sky News.
At Share Wars, we classify this type of article as a ‘Teaming’ story. Teaming is when people share stories to make a statement about what they believe in. You’re either for or against Hanson, and vaccination. There is no in-between. Taking a stand on these topics tells your network something about who you are.
