TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - The Journalist Behind the News: Credibility of Straight, Collaborative, Opinionated, and Blogged "News" JO - American behavioral scientist A1 - Meyer, Hans K. A1 - Marchionni, Doreen A1 - Thorson, Esther SP - 100 EP - 119 VL - 54 IS - 2 N2 - Technological advances of the 21st century are changing how people get news and what they expect from it. How a message is presented—as straight, opinionated, collaborative, or blog news—affects its credibility. This experiment suggests that the strongest predictor of article and organizational credibility online is the author’s perceived expertise, but in today’s digital age, that expertise is largely determined by the level of coorientation between the sender and receiver.
