Explaining Journalists' Trust in Public Institutions across 20 Countries: Media Freedom, Corruption and Ownership Matter Most
(Journal of Communication, 2012) Hanitzsch, Thomas; Berganza, Rosa
Building on the assumption that journalists' attitudes toward public institutions can contribute to a decline in public trust, this article sets out to identify the driving forces behind journalists' confidence in public institutions. Based on interviews with 2000 journalists from 20 countries, variation in trust is modeled across the individual level of journalists, the organizational level of news media, and the societal level of countries. Our findings suggest that the principal determinants of journalists' trust emanate from a country's political performance, from state ownership in the media, and from the extent to which people tend to trust each other. Journalism culture and power distance, however, seem to have relatively little weight in the calculus of journalists' institutional trust.
Mapping journalism cultures across nations. A comparative study of 18 countries
(Journalism Studies, 2011) Hanitzsch, Thomas; Folker, Hanusch; Mellado, Claudia; Anikina, Maria; Berganza, Rosa; et al.
This article reports key findings from a comparative survey of the role perceptions, epistemological orientations and ethical views of 1800 journalists from 18 countries. The results show that detachment, non-involvement, providing political information and monitoring the government are considered essential journalistic functions around the globe. Impartiality, the reliability and factualness of information, as well as adherence to universal ethical principles are also valued worldwide, though their perceived importance varies across countries.
Modeling Perceived Influences on Journalism: Evidence from a Cross-National Survey of Journalists
(Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, 2010) Hanitzsch, Thomas; Anikina, Maria; Berganza, Rosa; Cangoz, Incilay; Coman, Mihai; Hamada, Basyouni; Hanusch, Folker; Karadjov, Christopher D.; Mellado, Claudia; Moreira, Sonia Virginia; Mwesige, Peter G.; Plaisance, Patrick Lee
Surveying 1,700 journalists from seventeen countries, this study investigates perceived influences on news work. Analysis reveals a dimensional structure of six distinct domains-political, economic, organizational, professional, and procedural influences, as well as reference groups. Across countries, these six dimensions build up a hierarchical structure where organizational, professional, and procedural influences are perceived as more powerful limits to journalists' work than political and economic influences.
