مستخلص: Media credibility, as a construct that has been mainly developed in the western context, hasn't been examined thoroughly and tested in Asia cultural and social context. This research discusses and verifies media credibility as a multi-dimensional construct, with the support of empirical data. It discusses the impact of privately-owned news websites, e.g. Sina, on state-owned television stations, e.g. CCTV, with a focus on media credibility in the context of China. The data supports that media credibility includes both professional and political dimensions. The dimension of political orientation is a unique one developed directly in the context of China with empirical data support. This paper also explores contributing factors that impact media credibility in the Chinese context, and finds positive impact of privately-owned website use on media credibility of state-owned television.

مستخلص: This study aims at evaluating media credibility in contemporary China and exploring what factors influence people's perceptions of media credibility. A survey was conducted in Beijing (N = 376) and showed that the professional media outlets have evolved into a strong competitor of the traditional party-organ news media and were viewed as more credible than the party mouthpiece. However, in terms of online journalism, the news websites operated by the official news organizations were considered more credible than the news websites operated by the commercial companies. This study also found that political variables such as people's political concern and political knowledge play a significant role in predicting media credibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
