Abstract

The article examines the perceived credibility of citizen-produced news among young adults, with particular focus on internet news web sites "The Huffington Post," "CNN.com" and "Patch.com." The authors present a study in which they survey college students on news credibility. Their research findings include that the students did not differentiate between news articles that were written by professional journalists or an untrained citizen, that readers usually do not care about the professional norms that go into writing a news article, and that students who trust the mainstream media assigned higher credibility to news content.
