“…Credibility is one way to secondarily test stereotype application; however, measuring knowledge is another way to measure source credibility. Prior research found that, in a variety of instances, people link knowledge and credibility, believing the two to be intrinsically connected (e.g., Ashley et al, 2013; Eastin, 2001). Therefore, if measuring source credibility allows researchers to secondarily test the stereotype application of intelligence, then measuring knowledge does the same with source credibility (Flanagin & Metzger, 2000).…”

Women are more visible than ever in sports media. Yet, extant research has shown that females have endured an array of issues exclusive to their gender. Consistent research updates on gender in sports media is necessary in order to discover whether an increase in numbers has changed the assessment of women in sports media. This study’s objective was to understand how audiences now perceive women in television sports media, specifically as sports reporters covering the NFL. This quantitative experiment employed two current, veteran sports reporters (one female and one male) and pre-tested for the purpose of this study. It is the first known study that utilized professional television sports reporters. Each reporter recorded the same two “stand-ups” with identical backdrops. Survey participants randomly watched a video either of the male or female giving a fact or an opinion report and were then asked questions to measure their perception of the sports reporter’s knowledge and credibility. Intriguingly, this study did not replicate results from prior research, and therefore could contribute to literature on women in sports media moving forward.

“…The success of education is reflected in two things, namely the process and results of the education (Howes 2008). The use of technology is an important thing that needs to be integrated into the educational process (Martinez 2019;Beaty 2009) because it can be a solution to problems in education (Ashley 2010). Technology that utilizes learning media such as audio-visuals is suitable for improving students' abilities to read because this type of media contains elements of sound, motions, and images that can be seen (Ruck 2020).…”

“…In addition to providing an attractive and conducive learning space, this classroom aims to facilitate the integration of technology into learning, such as audio-visual media. Audio visual media is suitable for applied to literacy learning because it can activate students' eyes and ears in the learning process (Ashley 2010). Audio visual media is suitable for improving students' literacy skills because this type of media not only contains sound elements but also contains images that can be seen, such as video recordings, various sizes of movies, sound slides, and so on (Martinez 2019).…”

Elementary school students in the Siosar shelter area experienced trauma and lagging behind learning, especially reading as effect of the Mount Sinabung disaster which often erupts. This action research is to improve the quality of reading learning for elementary school students affected by the Mount Sinabung disaster in the Siosar shelter area, Indonesia. Reading problems experienced by students include difficulty recognizing letters, spelling stammering, difficulty reading words, not paying attention to punctuation, not understanding the content of reading, and low motivation to learn. The action taken to solve the problem is to utilize a literacy workshop assisted by audio-visual media. This research method is an action study that refers to Mcniff's theory, which is carried out two cycles with two meetings each. Data collection techniques are carried out by tests, observations, analysis of documents and interviews. Data analysis techniques are carried out quantitatively & qualitatively. The results of this study showed that the quality and process of reading results improved before and after the action (the average initial condition of 52.23 increased to 81.06). The findings were reinforced by t-test results that showed there were significant differences in reading competence in pre-action and in the results of second cycle actions. It is recommended that special actions be taken in learning for students in disaster areas by utilizing various media, both through group and individual activities to be motivated in learning and traumatic reduction.

“…News media literacy refers to knowledge about news production processes, conditions, and dissemination, and requires skills that allow users not only to understand these processes but also to think critically about or engage with news media. Studies show that news media literacy influences users' perceptions of news content (e.g., Ashley et al 2010;Vraga and Tully 2015) and can help to increase media trust and credibility and improve the recognition of misinformation (e.g., Guess et al 2020;Vraga et al 2012), which is especially important in the context of social media (e.g., Allcott et al 2019;Wu et al 2019). Although there is substantial research about the effects of (news) media literacy, this individual factor has not been investigated in the context of news errors up to now.…”

In the context of misinformation and inaccuracies in reporting, the knowledge and understanding of news production processes and conditions are crucial for news users’ perceptions of news content. However, research on the users’ perception of errors in news and the influence of corrections and individual factors is scarce. In two online experiments, we investigated the influence of corrections, newspaper type, and news media literacy on users’ perceptions of error severity and frequency. Corrections decreased the perceived severity of errors in both studies. News media literacy increased the perceived severity of errors in political news (Study 1) but not in sports news (Study 2). Further, news-literate users perceived errors in political news as more frequent. Newspaper type did not influence user perceptions. These results support the need for transparency and the importance of user characteristics – especially news media literacy – when studying perceptions of journalistic products.
