Abstract

A key problem with research on news media trust is that it has mostly focused on general media trust and that there is limited research on how media trust might vary across levels of analysis. In this paper, we seek to remedy this by investigating whether news media trust differs depending on the topic of news coverage and whether topical trust can be distinguished from general media trust. We also investigate the antecedents of trust in news coverage of different topics and the effects of topical trust on issue (mis)perceptions. Among other things, findings show that topical media trust can be distinguished from general media trust and is a better predictor of correct perceptions on political matters.

超越一般媒体信任:专题媒体信任、其前因及对议题(错误)认知的影响分析

新闻媒体信任研究的一个关键问题是，它主要关注一般媒体信任，而对媒体信任如何在不同分析水平上变化的研究有限。在本文中，我们试图通过调查新闻媒体信任是否因新闻报道的主题而不同，以及话题信任是否可以与一般媒体信任区分开来来弥补这一点。我们还调查了不同主题新闻报道中信任的前因，以及主题信任对问题（错误）认知的影响。除其他外，研究结果表明，话题媒体信任可以与一般媒体信任区分开来，是对政治问题正确看法的更好预测因素。
