Trust in News Media (2007, background): “From the perspective of communication research, trust can be considered a crucial variable for media effects (Tsfati, 2003); it informs us how individuals perceive and evaluate news media.”
Partisan Differences in Opinionated News Perceptions: A Test of the Hostile Media Effect (2011, background): “This is a legitimate concern, given the subjective nature of media bias ( Tsfati 2003a, b). Moreover, selective information processes, such as the hostile media effect (Vallone et al. 1985), suggest that partisan audiences—due to their own biases—could fail to recognize bias in news that comports w”

The Opinion Factor: The Effects of Opinionated News on Information Processing and Attitude Change (2011, result): “While contradictory to research on source credibility and media trust (eg, Tsfati, 2003 ), which suggests that a lack of news trust will undermine its effects, these findings are actually quite consistent with the heuristic-systematic model (HSM; Eagly & Chaiken, 1993 ).”
Perceptions of Cable News Credibility (2013, background): “Research has shown that when people find the media credible, it enhances the agenda setting, priming, and framing power of the media (Druckman, 2001; J. M. Miller & Krosnick, 2000; Tsfati, 2003).”
How to Measure Generalized Trust in News Media? An Adaptation and Test of Scales (2019, background): “We find research on concepts such as “media skepticism” (e.g., Tsfati, 2003a) or “media distrust” (e.g., Ladd, 2010), both applying the term trust in their definitions and being essentially concerned with the same questions as research on trust in the news.”
Why Do People Watch News They Do Not Trust? The Need for Cognition as a Moderator in the Association Between News Media Skepticism and Exposure (2005, methodology): “The convergent and discriminant validity of the news media skepticism measure was demonstrated in previous research (e.g., Tsfati, 2003b, p. 73).2 NFC.”
