“…They knew the importance of establishing a responsible, ethical discourse in the newspapers to ensure its independence and achieve practical commitment to ethics in the profession. It also agrees with the study of Culver and Lee (2019) which confirmed that the commitment to professional standards promotes a positive concept of media freedom; participatory methods between the public and the media contribute to correcting errors, adhering to objectivity, avoiding bias in news coverage, and delivering public-service media discourse.…”

The article aimed to identify the social responsibility dimensions of political talk shows in dealing with the parliamentary performance of the 19th House of Representatives of Jordan. It adopted the content analysis methodology and applied it to the "Kingdom Voice" (Sawt Al-Mamlaka) program. Thirty-one episodes have been analyzed, of which they dealt with the parliamentary functioning of the House of Representatives during its second ordinary session, which began on 13 November 2022 and ended on 7 May 2023. The results of the study showed that the (Sawt Al-Mamlaka) program was committed to all dimensions of social, moral, and professional responsibility the dealing with parliamentary performance but was more committed to the media performance dimension (ethical standards), with a mean of (2.80), then the roles and functions of social responsibility with a mean of (2.76), then the professional standards with a mean of (2.55). The study concluded that talk shows should uphold the principle of serving the public and society, raising the level of freedom of opinion and expression, ensuring that talk shows serve as a platform for thought and criticism within their social responsibility, their role as constructive and positive critics in society, and their oversight function in expressing public opinion.

“…Survey research is suitable for testing performance theories of media trust at the micro-level—that is, the idea that individual evaluations of media performance influence media (dis)trust. There are several available variables that could be used to operationalize evaluations of media performance, such as perceived media performance (Peifer, 2018), media quality (Fawzi, 2019), and perceived ethical performance of news media (Culver & Lee, 2019). However, the discriminant validity between these variables and the common measure of media (dis)trust used in this study is questionable.…”

This study proposes that media distrust and cynicism are two related but distinct perceptions that indicate qualitatively different ways in which audiences relate to news media. To substantiate this, we developed a new instrument to measure media cynicism. Factor analyses showed that the indicators of media distrust and cynicism are not influenced by the same underlying dimension. Structural equation modeling indicated that while distrust appears to be predominately caused by perceived media responsiveness, media cynicism may be susceptible to a wider range of factors.

“…Some studies have shown a correlation between conservative ideology, general partisanship and distrust in media (Culver & Lee, 2019), which could affect judgments of credibility. While trust and credibility are not the same thing, they are interconnected (though there are arguments as to whether trust is an antecedent to credibility or vice-versa; Engleke et al, 2019; Kiousis, 2001).…”

Easy to read, easy to judge: Assessing readability as a heuristic for credibility in news

Despite calls for journalists and media agencies to address a disconnect between news audiences and news prose, content continues to increase in its difficulty to read and comprehend for the masses. While readability is often associated with audience comprehension and engagement, studies have neglected to assess whether readability is a factor in audience assessments of the credibility of content. Using an online experimental design, this study examines whether readability acts as a heuristic that helps news consumers make credibility judgments of news. Results show that readability tends not to be a predictor of credibility perception, regardless of partisanship strength or media use preferences. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
