Moldova Media Credibility and Family Communication Patterns : the Radio Giurgiu Project

Abstract

This ongoing international research/service project in the former Soviet Republic of Moldova explores how exposure to democratic journalism influences public expectations and perceptions of journalism credibility. The research team conducted a journalism training camp and helped students at the village school establish an online radio station designed to cover the local community. Researchers interviewed local community members about their perceptions of Moldovan news media credibility. Community members also completed a questionnaire about their family communication patterns.
