随着公民生成新闻的增加，了解个人倾向如何与新闻来源相互作用以影响人们对新闻可信度的看法变得越来越重要。通过基于网络的实验，本研究考察了个人对媒体和政治的倾向对主流和公民新闻的可信度感知的影响。对来自美国成年人的代表性样本的数据进行分析，结果表明，媒体怀疑和政治犬儒主义相互作用，因此愤世嫉俗者和怀疑者认为公民新闻更可信，而非愤世嫉俗者和非怀疑者认为主流新闻更可信。
With the increase in citizen-generated news, the need to understand how individual predispositions interact with news sources to influence perceptions of news credibility becomes increasingly important. Using a web-based experiment, this study examines the influences individual predispositions toward the media and politics have on perceived credibility of mainstream and citizen journalism. Analyzing data drawn from a representative sample of the U. S. adult population, results indicate that media skepticism and political cynicism interact, such that cynics and skeptics perceive citizen journalism as more credible, while non-cynics and non-skeptics think mainstream journalism is more credible.
