“…In some cases a paradox appears: A newspaper can be believed but still be alienated if it advocates positions strongly opposed by a majority in its community or undertakes investigations of editorial positions that run counter to the perceived economic or social interests of the community (Meyer, 1988, p. 567). This paradox has also been detected in Spain wherein audience distrust the media in general terms but they distrust less the information media publish when asked about impartiality, accuracy and truthfulness (Roses & Gómez-Calderón, 2015).…”

“…Thus, it rests uncharted the examination of other aspects related to the reliability of the informative role of journalism. More recently, a survey addressed the study of some variables and found that the Spanish population is uncritical towards media in general terms, but an individual analysis of indicators showed that a majority of users think that media are not impartial, whereas indicators of accuracy and truthfulness were moderately accepted (Roses & Gómez-Calderón, 2015). It also characterized skeptical media consumers as middle-aged men living in large cities in the north of Spain who are distrustful towards inter-personal relationships and watch less TV than the average.…”

“…The instrument was designed to test traditional measures of the dimensions of trustworthiness and expertise, but also to include features of the current digital environment. Those items were: reputation (Choi & Stvilia, 2015;Fogg, Soohoo, Danielson, Marable et al, 2003;Metzger, Flanagin & Medders, 2010); currency of information (Choi & Stvilia, 2015;Stanford, Tauber, Fogg et al, 2002); affinity with the editorial line (Melican & Dixon, 2008;Meyers, 1988;Metzger, Hartsell & Flanagin, 2015;Roses & Gómez-Calderón, 2015); analysis, context, citation of sources (Llamero, 2011); links to primary sources (Stanford, Tauber, Fogg et al, 2002); inclusion of participatory spaces for audiences (Llamero, 2011). Results of the examination of these items were employed to test the following hypothesis: H1: A positive opinion about the credibility of news media is conditioned by engagement of the audience and by the demographic variables of age, gender and size of the population of residence.…”

Credibility of online news media is facing important challenges: the levelling effect of the digital environment, the changing habits of consumption, polarization of discourses... This scenario makes it relevant to address what features of news brands and news content shape the credibility of contemporary journalism. This article tests a set of items, including journalistic standards, reputation and citizen participation, in order to build predictors involved in credibility judgments. The authors carried on a quantitative survey (n=416), representative of the Spanish online population. Results identified currency of information, inclusion of analysis and context, citation of sources and inclusion of links to primary sources as the most significant predictors of credibility judgements; it also showed that engaged respondents rely on news brand reputation and individual journalists´ reputation and do not take into account ideological affinity with editorial lines of media. Participation in the media did not prove to be relevant in shaping aggregated judgments of credibility.

“…At the same time, it is intended to study the perception of citizens towards various deontological instruments, in order to measure the effectiveness of compliance with these ethical values. Along the same lines, it is worth highlighting recent works on citizens' perception of news activity, such as Serrano-Puche (2017), Roses and Gómez-Calderón (2015) or the regular updates of the Center for Internet Studies and Digital Life of the University of Navarra (http://www.digitalnewsreport.es/) which include reports on news consumption and credibility by citizens on the internet.…”

This article analyses the opinions of citizens on the core values of the so-called Media accountability: truthfulness, independence, transparency, public participation and respect for peoples’ rights. It also analyses citizens’ perceptions of various deontological instruments to measure the effectiveness of compliance with these ethical values. The qualitative methodology used to carry out this analysis is part of the R+D+I research project “Accountability and Journalistic Cultures project in Spain. Impact and proposal of good practices in the Spanish media” (MediaACES), which has been achieved through six focus groups in different Spanish cities. The results of the analysis reflect the critical spirit of citizens towards the media due to the following factors: the absence of objectivity, the mixture of economic interests with their editorial line and an ambiguous participation of the public, which requires a better definition of their role within the information process. The conclusions derived from this analysis allow us to reflect on several aspects: among others, the competition in a deregulated market leads to infotainment and affects the quality of information, as well as the rights of people affected by the news. At the same time, the excess of information channels leads to greater disinformation, under the appearance of a spontaneous pluralism that is superfluous. Ethics, therefore, seems to be a necessary requirement to differentiate professional journalism from other inappropriate information channels and to guarantee the right to information of citizens.

“…Los informativos televisivos, por tanto, presentan una poderosa capacidad de influencia en la conformación de la opinión pública (García Avilés, 2007). De hecho, un estudio reciente en España señala que el consumo informativo principalmente de televisión es un factor que predispone a un menor cuestionamiento de los medios de comunicación (Roses & Gómez-Calderón, 2015), razón por la cual la investigación de las actitudes y las prácticas periodísticas televisivas resulta de interés primordial.…”
