The results of the study showed that young adults don't perceive institutional blogs to be more credible than personal blogs. In addition, the findings suggest that young adults view the news information on the Internet and cable television as being nearly equally credible. The findings of the present study as well as previous studies suggest that that audience acceptance and attention to the perceived credibility of blogs and other non-professional, user-created content on the Internet continues to grow rapidly. This type of information content has and continues to become an important component in the marketplace of ideas.

This article examines newspaper reports of the post 2007 presidential election violence in Kenya and finds a contrast to the Rwandan ‘model’. Although the newspapers analysed did not provide any forewarning about the impending crisis, they relentlessly published news stories and house editorials that addressed peace-building in the country. The authors suggest that the Kenyan example raises two main issues: (a) the media can play functional roles in de-escalating conflicts in Africa; and (b) reporters should be society’s moral witnesses, not ‘objective’ bystanders, who watch and report on the collapse of humanity.

It finds that ideological distance/congruency did not affect students' perceptions of their overall learning experience and their class grades but had a statistically significant effect on the extent to which they participate in class discussions.

The role of the radio in escalating the 1994 genocide in Rwanda is often cited as the best example of the media's partisanship in African crises.

D. dimensions of CBBE (perceived quality, brand awareness, brand association, and brand loyalty) and dimensions of media credibility (fairness, bias, accuracy, trustworthiness, and comprehensiveness) were used to create the construct indexes. A survey was self-administered by 201 respondents. The results show that CBBE predicts 67% of the variance in media channel credibility. Three of the 4 constructs of CBBE (perceived quality, brand association, and brand loyalty) were significantly related to media channel credibility. The relation between media channel credibility and brand awareness was not statistically significant.
