Online news recommendations credibility: The tie is mightier than the source

Abstract: In this paper, we wish to examine the perceived credibility of news items shared through Social Networking Sites (SNS) –specifically, as a function of tie strength and perceived credibility of the media source from which the content originated. We utilized a between-subjects design. The Facebook account of each participant (N=217) was analyzed.

“…While our participants valued content from reliable sources, they also admitted to instances where they shared content based on the headline without perusing the content. Experimental evidence suggests that apart from the perceived credibility of the news publisher, social network tiestrengths can also influence the credibility of the news shared, with closer ties being more influential (35) . In line with these findings, we observed that our participants were more likely to trust shared food and product recommendations from their close social networks at face Accepted manuscript value rather than those from social media influencers.…”

La suma de errores, las informaciones contradictorias y los bulos que se iban generando y transmitiendo en medios y redes sociales amplificó la sensación de desinformación y desconfianza en una población que, al mismo tiempo, desarrollaba una idea equivocada e incluso negacionista del propio virus y sus consecuencias (Pauner, 2021;Pérez Conchillo, 2020;Rojo Martínez et al, 2020;Samuel-Azran y Hayat, 2019).…”
