Abstract Details

2009, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Journalism (Communication).
As blogging becomes a rising component in the world of media, credibility of journalistic blogs has been drawing more and more attention and contention. Through different ways of improving writer credibility and gate-keeper credibility, journalistic blogs were classified in five categories in this thesis. Two cases were analyzed as an illustration of the classification. The impacts of Uses and Gratifications were discussed also.
