Purpose: This study aims to understand if heterogeneous news is evenly consumed and distributed on portals as it examines people's news use and engagement behaviors and news credibility. Focusing on the four behaviors of news use, i.e., viewing news by keyword search, viewing news from subscribed sources, viewing news from the list of most-viewed news, and reading comments, and the three behaviors of news engagement, i.e., sharing news, 'liking' or 'recommending' news, and posting comments, this study investigates the relation between each of the behaviors and portal news credibility. Research design, data and methodology: From 2022 News Audience Survey in Korea, this study conducts a regression analysis to investigate the relations between each behavior and news credibility. Results: The results show a positive relation for the former two news use behaviors and the latter two news engagement behaviors, and a negative relation for the latter two news use behaviors. Conclusions: The positive relations between active news use and engagement behaviors and portal news credibility indicate that news consumers are more likely to use and engage in attitude-consistent news rather than attitude-challenging news, implying that heterogeneous news is less likely to be consumed and distributed evenly on portals across all news users.

A blog has significant effect as a new online medium and as a tool to share information with its powerful networking function. Blogs are established based on personal experience and their impact is stronger than conventional media in terms of informativeness, credibility and interactivity. Such characteristics of blogs lead to blog commitment (a phenomenon that has behavioral consequences) that eventually influences consumer fashion purchase behavior. The more a consumer is interested in fashion and seeks diverse information from a wide range of media, the more personally committed they become to certain blogs; in addition, they will also post the results of their fashion product purchases on their blog to further create and reproduce information. This research discovers how blog commitment affects fashion product purchase behavior and information reproduction activity among consumers as well as explores the impact of blog characteristics and information variety seeking by individual consumers on these factors. The data was collected from 428 adults who purchased a fashion product based on information they found on a blog. The results are as follows. First, blog characteristics are composed of accessibility, interactivity, credibility of the information, and informativeness. Second, in terms of the blog commitment, informativeness, credibility, and consumer information diversification (respectively), turned out to have positive effects; in addition, accessibility and credibility had positive effects for corporate blogs. The comparison between private and corporate blogs showed that consumers tend to be more committed to private blogs. Third, in terms of the brand attitude, private/corporate blog commitment, credibility, and consumer information diversification (respectively) had a positive influence. Fourth, blog characteristics and consumer information diversification led consumers (through private/corporate blog commitment) to form a favorable attitude towards the brand and purchase products that resulted in information reproduction of the purchased product.

An online survey was conducted to assess motivations for using, reliance on, and perceived credibility of political blogs and microblogs during both the Taiwanese general election of 2009 (the blog epoch) and the presidential elections of 2012 (the microblog epoch). Results indicated higher reliance on and motivation for using political blogs than microblogs. Blogs were also perceived to be more credible than microblogs. Respondents who primarily engaged in blogging for information purposes were more likely to judge candidate blogs as highly credible, whereas interest in entertainment emerged as the strongest predictor of the perceived credibility of microblogs. This research also provided quantitative evidence showing how users viewed blogs and microblogs differently in the context of political campaigns. The aim is to explore the pros and cons of blogging and microblogging as a tool for political communication.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors which affect risk perception and attitude on government risk management over medications containing asbestos among parents of elementary school students. Methods: This research design was cross-sectional study using self-administered questionnaire. The survey subjects were parents of elementary school students in Seoul, total of 1,051 subjects. The survey period was from June through July of 2011. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0. Results: The subjects perceived high risk regarding medications containing asbestos. About 83.6% of the subjects perceived that the result taking of medications containing asbestos was fatal, 82.8% felt that medications containing asbestos was a very serious social problem, 79.5% agreed that medications containing asbestos was a new type of threat. The risk perception for medications containing asbestos was related to political affiliation, attitudes of dealing medicines, main use of media, and personal communication credibility. Those who did not believe that the current government policy was correct and the government was working toward the public's benefit and not its own had the higher level of negative attitudes towards the government's risk management over the case of medications containing asbestos. Conclusion: In implementing government policy, all information should be efficiently and accurately communicated through a transparent implementation process. Also, the government must have plans for countermeasures in case of an emergency and respond efficiently in order to maintain their credibility. Moreover, this highlights the need for health authorities to exert more effort in increasing public education/awareness, especially those concerning drug and dug-taking behavior, in order to harness positive attitude and trust towards the government's policy. For a more effective risk communication, the media, health experts, government representatives, and related industries should work together.

최근 가상 인간(Virtual Human: VH)이 SNS뿐만 아니라 음원, 광고, 드라마 등 다양한 매체에서 등장하기 시작했다. 가상 인간은 기업의 새로운 마케팅 수단으로 자리를 잡아 가고 있으나 이에 대한 소비자 반응은 여전히 불확실하다. 따라서, 본 연구는 가상 인간이 등장하는 콘텐츠에 대한 소비자의 반응을 살펴보고자 한다. 보다 구체적으로 가상 인간에 대한 표기 여부가 소비자의 인식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 가상 인간에 대한 정체성을 노출시키는 '가상 인간 디스클로저(Virtual Human Disclosure: VHD)'의 개념을 제시하고 광고 태도(유희성, 실용성, 그리고 흥미)와 정보원 공신력(신뢰성과 전문성)을 변인으로 활용하여 가상 인간 디스클로저의 영향을 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 302명의 응답자를 대상으로 실험 설문 연구를 진행하였다. 주요 연구결과는 영상에 등장하는 모델이 가상 인간인 경우와 사람인 경우 모두 소비자들의 광고 태도와 정보원 공신력의 차이가 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 가상 인간 디스클로저가 영상에 직접적인 텍스트 형태로 제시되는 것보다 광고시청 후 SNS와 소개글을 통해 간접적으로 모델이 가상 인간임을 인지하게 되는 것이 더 긍정적인 효과를 가져왔다. 본 연구는 가상 인간 디스클로저라는 새로운 개념을 활용하여 가상 인간에 대한 이해를 증진시키며, 이를 활용한 콘텐츠 제작 시 마케팅 측면에서 소비자에게 최적화된 전략 수립에 기여할 수 있다.

The study investigates the media distinctiveness between twitter and other social media and describes how product information interpretation and responsiveness by internet users can be affected by the distinctive characteristics of twitter and blog media. The characteristics include relationship formation patterns among users, channel diversity, immediateness of information communication, information flow within media, media credibility, and management cost. Specifically, we statistically tested whether these characteristics are meaningfully differentiated by users. Results also showed that users perceived product information processing level and product evaluation direction differently based on these media characteristics. The current findings can serve as a pioneering work to provide a theoretical framework for examining social media characteristics and their impacts on consumer perception. In addition, this study practically suggests that marketers and network managers need to use differentiated communication strategies for twitters as a marketing strategic option.

본 연구는 최근 주목받고 있는 1인 미디어 인플루언서의 공신력(매력성, 신뢰성, 전문성) 및 콘텐츠 진정성이 브랜드 진정성과 상품 구매 의도에 미치는 효과를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 응답자에게 실제 유튜브에서 제공되고 있는 인플루언서의 임베디드 콘텐츠를 시청하게 한 후 설문조사를 실시하였다. 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 인플루언서의 전문성과 콘텐츠 진정성이 브랜드 진정성에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 함께, 브랜드 진정성은 구매 의도에 정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 구매 의도와 콘텐츠 진정성의 사이에서 매개 효과를 나타내는 것으로 드러났다. 이러한 연구결과는 온라인 1인 미디어 및 미디어 콘텐츠의 실증적인 광고 효과를 분석하였을 뿐 아니라, 마케팅 분야에서 진정성 개념과 관련된 연구 범위를 확장하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 더불어, 1인 미디어 인플루언서 및 이들과 협업하고자 하는 기업에게 전략적인 시사점을 제공한다고 할 수 있다.
