Abstract

Trust in the news media is an important prerequisite for democracies. Building on media trust and accuracy research, we investigate reciprocal effects between perceived accuracy and trust in news. We implemented a two-wave online panel survey ( N = 952) in the context of the 2021 German federal election. For media individuals' use, we find that trust and accuracy are reciprocally related and are influenced by media use. For the media in general, only trust has an effect on accuracy, whereas media skepticism and cynicism are only associated with trust, not with accuracy. Further results and their implications are discussed.

感知准确性和新闻媒体信任的相互影响:2021年德国联邦选举背景下的两波在线小组研究

对新闻媒体的信任是民主的重要先决条件。在媒体信任和准确性研究的基础上，我们调查了感知准确性和新闻信任之间的相互影响。我们在2021年德国联邦选举的背景下实施了两波在线小组调查(N = 952)。对于媒体个体的使用，我们发现信任和准确性是相互相关的，并受到媒体使用的影响。对于一般媒体来说，只有信任对准确性有影响，而媒体怀疑主义和犬儒主义只与信任有关，而与准确性无关。进一步的结果及其意义进行了讨论。
