BRIANA, M.S., Journalism; M.A., Global Mass Communication, May 2020 3749466 Journalists on Twitter: Followers, Gender & Perceptions of Credibility Director of Thesis: Dr. Parul Jain Committee Members: Dr. Hans Meyer, Rosanna Planner As news consumers move online, journalists and media professionals face new challenges regarding the way in which they maintain trust with audiences. The spread of disinformation and misleading messages has become a pertinent issue for both consumers and creators on social media platforms, making source credibility online an incredibly important evaluation for consumers to consider and for journalists to adhere to. This study examined the perceptions of credibility for journalists on Twitter based on their gender and the number of followers they had. A total of 200 respondents with Twitter accounts residing in the U.S. took part in the study and a 2 (gender: male or female) x 2 (Twitter followers: high or low) between subjects experimental design with random assignment to view one of four conditions was utilized. Results of the study suggest that gender and the number of Twitter followers a journalist has does not influence a respondent’s evaluation of their credibility, but the number of followers a female journalist has on Twitter has a marginal effect on her perceived trustworthiness, a dimension of credibility, while the same is not true for a male journalist. 3 Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my friends, both in Ohio and in Leipzig, and my family, whose love, support and encouragement inspired me to complete this research. None of this would have been possible if it weren’t for my incredible parents, Kristin and Roy. 4 Acknowledgments Thank you to my thesis committee, Dr. Parul Jain (Ohio University), Dr. Hans Meyer (Ohio University) and Rosanna Planner (Leipzig University), for their professional and expert guidance throughout the research process.

From real-time reporting to headhunting sources, social media has been an important feature of the world of a modern journalist, one that entry-level candidates are expected to both understand and master.

At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design.
