From Lisa Sonnabend's mailbox:
As part of my thesis at the Institute for Communication Studies and Media Research at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, I am conducting a survey among weblog readers on the topic of "Credibility of Weblogs". This is one of the first scientific studies on the phenomenon of weblogs in Germany.
It is to be clarified whether weblogs are already considered as trustworthy and competent in certain points such as fairness or impartiality as traditional media – and in which points there are great differences. In addition, the survey examines which special qualities weblogs have from the perspective of the recipients and what importance they have for the users. Based on the results, a prognosis about the future importance of weblogs in the media landscape is to be made.
And I should put the link in the blog so that people can participate. Well, I'll do that, even though I wonder what competence and credibility the old media are supposed to have.
