本研究比較五種不同媒介選舉新聞的可信度，並探討人口變 項、政黨支持、媒介使用與媒介依賴對選舉新聞可信度的影響。結 果發現，無論分析「相對可信度」或「絕對可信度」，電視的可信 度都最高，報紙的可信度排名第二，網路的可信度則遠比不上電視 與報紙。在預測可信度的因素方面，本研究發現媒介依賴比媒介使 用對選舉新聞的可信度有較高的預測力，在本研究分析的五種媒介 中，媒介依賴均是預測選舉新聞可信度的最有力變項。

This study examines respondents' perception of election news credibility and determines the factors that predict election news credibility. The results of this study indicate that respondents regard election news on television as most credible, followed by election news in newspapers. Compared to television and newspaper, the Internet was judged as less credible. The results also show that media reliance is a better predictor of election news credibility than is media use.
