Pingree, R.J., Quenette, A.M., Tcherney, J.M., & Dickinson, T. (2013). Effects of Media Criticism on Gatekeeping Trust and Implications for Agenda Setting. Journal of Communication, 63(3), 351-372.
Abstract From Author: This study explores causes and consequences of
gatekeeping trust, a new media trust construct defined as trust that the news
media selects stories based on judgments of the importance of problems. If this
form of trust-rooted in a misunderstanding of news story selection practices-is
what drives agenda setting effects, these effects can be seen as a
miscommunication between the media and the public, and perhaps a correctable
one. An experiment manipulating exposure to and expression of media criticism
finds gatekeeping trust can be reduced without also affecting more desirable
forms of media trust. Gatekeeping trust is also the only media trust construct
to positively predict an indicator of agenda cueing and negatively predict an
indicator of agenda reasoning.
The Newspaper Research Journal is a quarterly journal that began in 1979. It reaches more than 1,000 journalism students, scholars and media professionals in the U.S. and 20 countries. One of NRJ's main concerns is to "provide a bridge between journalism scholars and newspaper professionals and a forum for practical research on and discussion of issues of interest to both."
