Citations in the corpus

• A Losing Strategy: The Impact of Nondisclosure in Social Media on Relationships (2010, background): “From comparing the credibility of one medium to another (Kiousis, 2001 ) to examinations of the credibility of social media content (Banning & Sweetser, 2007 ; Johnson & Kaye, 2004 ), mass communication studies have tackled this concept.”
• Measuring Social Media Credibility: A Study on a Measure of Blog Credibility (2011, methodology): “The current research did not examine blog medium credibility, as there are several previous studies on the topic (Banning & Sweetser, 2007; Johnson & Kaye, 1998, 2009; Thorson, et al., 2010).”
• Nudge Effect of Fact-Check Alerts: Source Influence and Media Skepticism on Sharing of News Misinformation in Social Media (2020, background): “Non-professional news blogs rate lower on credibility as compared to large news organizations (e.g., www.nytimes.com) (Banning & Sweetser, 2007), as do independent news sites (e.g., www.drudgereport.com) when compared to established news sites (e.g., www.usatoday. com) (Chung et al., 2012).”
