摘要：

The authors examined the roles that race and news use play in predicting perceived credibility of news coverage of ethnic groups. With data from a 2000 telephone survey of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, analyses were conducted specific to news use and news perceptions of three media outlets: the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and WCCO-TV news. Race played an important role in predicting credibility perceptions, but news use did not. Specifically, being Black (or not) played a stronger role than being White (or not) in predicting credibility perceptions of news coverage of Blacks and credibility perceptions of news coverage of Whites. In addition, Blacks viewed news coverage of Blacks as being less credible than did non-Blacks, and Blacks viewed news coverage of Whites as being more credible than did non-Blacks.
