Abstract

By employing media system dependency theory, this study investigates how Chinese journalists (n = 125) and journalism students (n = 165) perceived the watchdog role and media trust in news reports and the BBS content. The results show that they rated a stronger sense of watchdog role in political information than in sports information.
