Abstract

The changes in how people consume news and the emergence of digital and distributed news sources call for a reexamination of the relationship between news use and trust in news. Previous research had suggested that alternative news use is correlated with lower levels of trust in news, whereas mainstream news use is correlated with higher levels of trust in news. Our research, based on a survey of news users in 35 countries, shows that using either mainstream or alternative news sources is associated with higher levels of trust in news. However, we find that using social media as a main source of news is correlated with lower levels of trust in news. When looking at country effects, we find that systemic factors such as the levels of press freedom or the audience share of the public service broadcaster in a country are not significantly correlated with trust in news.

新闻媒体信任与新闻消费:35个国家的新闻信任相关因素

人们新闻消费方式的变化以及数字化和分布式新闻来源的出现，要求我们重新审视新闻使用与新闻信任之间的关系。先前的研究表明，另类新闻的使用与对新闻的信任度较低相关，而主流新闻的使用与对新闻的信任度较高相关。我们的研究基于对35个国家的新闻用户的调查，表明使用主流或替代新闻来源与对新闻的更高信任度有关。然而，我们发现使用社交媒体作为新闻的主要来源与对新闻的信任度较低相关。在观察国家效应时，我们发现，一个国家的新闻自由水平或公共服务广播公司的受众份额等系统性因素与新闻信任没有显著相关。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Communication is an online, multi-media, academic journal that adheres to the highest standards of peer review and engages established and emerging scholars from anywhere in the world. The International Journal of Communication is an interdisciplinary journal that, while centered in communication, is open and welcoming to contributions from the many disciplines and approaches that meet at the crossroads that is communication study. We are interested in scholarship that crosses disciplinary lines and speaks to readers from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. In other words, the International Journal of Communication will be a forum for scholars when they address the wider audiences of our many sub-fields and specialties, rather than the location for the narrower conversations more appropriately conducted within more specialized journals. USC Annenberg Press USC Annenberg Press is committed to excellence in communication scholarship, journalism, media research, and application. To advance this goal, we edit and publish prominent scholarly publications that are both innovative and influential, and that chart new courses in their respective fields of study. Annenberg Press is among the first to deliver journal content online free of charge, and devoted to the wide dissemination of its content. Annenberg Press continues to offer scholars and readers a forum that meets the highest standards of peer review and engages established and emerging scholars from anywhere in the world.
