Abstract:

Public opinion and religious opinion are located within plural societies, connected to social networks. The experience of the phenomenon of public opinion by the believers interacts with the experience of religious opinions. What are the mediations employed by the sensus fidelium to explain the contradictions between public and religious opinion? This article discusses the proximity between public and religious opinions through the categories of publicity, contradiction, utility and truth. In networked societies, the faithful exercise the right to express their opinions and religious convictions. The phenomenon of the sensus fidelium immediately evidences the experience of faith of the believers as subjective convictions and religious opinions. Afterwards, these opinions are mediated by the collegiate spheres of the Church, expressing the coherence of the belief, that is, its truth. The proximity between public and religious opinions points to more complex scenarios for the Church and the believers.

Abstract:

The aim of the article is to describe the functions of the opinion leader and he or she performs. The news portal „Delfi.lt“ articles from the year 2013, in which the most popular (according to the data of the survey company TNS LT) opinion leaders express their views serve as a basis in the article. Theoretical presumptions that their personal opinions shape the public opinion, affect social decisions and actions, are applied. Although the opinion leaders achieve popularity firstly through social activeness; however, for the purpose of persuasiveness an important role is attributed to linguistic peculiarities. In many cases, they determine the aspects the readers are to notice and remember. A person working towards becoming an opinion leader must meet the requirements of media channels, observe the general oratory requirements (language regularity, purity, clarity, simplicity, consistency, vividness, appropriateness, and aesthetic appeal), and fulfil the main functions of his or her text: to explain, prove, and persuade.

Abstract:

This study aims to explain the foundations of the critical methodology of Imam Al-Alusi in his recantation of Imam Al- Fakhar Al-Razi opinions. The researcher chose this topic to conduct a study on it because both of the exegeses have great value and high status in exegeses field. They contain various benefits and useful matters in different sciences related to the holy Qur’an. Also, knowing the recantations are of great significance in identifying the foundations on which Imam Al- Alusi critical methodology was based. This paper shows how he applied this methodology to criticize the opinion of past exegetes especially Imam Al-Fakhar Al-Razi. In this study researcher has used the inductive extraction and descriptive method of research to discuss the critical methodology followed by Imam Al- Alusi. He refutes the opinions of Imam Al-Fakhar Al-Razi in various issues related to the exegesis.

Abstract:

This article provides a critical analysis of the public opinion on peace in Sri Lanka, with consideration to two determinants: social differentiation and politicisation of identities. Specifically, it aims at developing arguments about the correlations between public opinion, social position, and political mobilisation. Inspired by Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, social space, and political field, this article develops an empirical analysis of the links between ethnic identity and public opinion on peace, and between social differentiation and opinions within the Sinhalese majority community in Sri Lanka. This article argues that ethnic polarisation and politicisation were the foremost determinants of public opinion during the peace process in 2002-2009.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article examines the roles of belief and opinion in Machiavelli'sPrince. Political success and failure are effected not only by force and arms but by religious belief in particular, and more generally by the beliefs and opinions of peoples. Princes can also be the beneficiaries or the victims of their own beliefs and opinions. Machiavelli occasionally explicitly states a view as his own belief or opinion such as his belief in cruelty well used or his opinions that a prince should found himself on the people and avoid their hatred. His beliefs and opinions both contrast with common beliefs and opinions and are modified in response to them.

Abstract:

Abstract This article examines how user comments influence assessment of public opinion climate and perceived support for one’s opinion. The effects of user-comment sentiment (positive vs. negative) and of user-comment content (with or without personal exemplification) were tested with an online experiment (n = 1,510). Results show that user-comment effects on estimates of public opinion depend mainly on the sentiment of the comments and not on their framing as opinions with or without personal exemplification. Negative comments significantly reduce readers’ estimation of public opinion support of the issue dealt with by the article and affect the perceived support of one’s opinion. Study results refer to the possible dangers in user comments deliberate manipulation in democratic public discussion.

Abstract:

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, on November 15th of 2017, issued an Advisory Opinion on the environment and human rights. The relevance of this Opinion is reflected in the development made by the Court on state obligations in relation to the environment. The Court recognized the “undeniable relationship between the protection of the environment and the realization of other human rights”. In this virtue, this article seeks to scrutinize and synthesize the foundations of the Advisory Opinion. Finally, since advisory opinions are not binding nor obligatory for Ecuador (or any other state), this article develops an analysis on one possible solution (conventionality control) for the inclusion of Advisory Opinion 23/17 in the Ecuadorian legal system.

Abstract:

Imam Shahab Uddin Al-Alusi(1270 AH) was aditinguished Scholar of 13th century Hijri and he is famous for his Tafseer “Roohul Maani fi Tafseer al Quran al Azeem wa Al-Sabe Al-Mathani” which is considered an encyclopedia of Tafseer due to its comprehensive exaetical discussion. This tafseer include most of the information of the previous exageses. Furthermore Imam Al- Aalusi in his tafseer has criticized and rectified other scholars in various issues with arguments, among them is especially Imam Fakhr Uddin Al-Razi (606 AH) the author of tafseer “Mafateeh ul Ghaib”. Famous by “Al-Tafseer ul -Kabeer, who was prominent scholar of 7th century Hijri and the author of so many books in various field of Islmic Studies such as tafseer, jurisprudence, Fiqh, Al-Kalam, Philosophy, medical etc. In addition he was famous for his reasoning and critical discussion in his books especially his tafseer. So in this article we had discussed few examples of rectification of Imam Al-Alusi in his tafseer on Tafseer Mafateeh ul Ghaib of Imam Fakhr Uddin Al-Razi, from which we know the difference of opinion among scholars and how these Honourable Scholars were maintaining justice and courtesy while dealing with difference of opinion even having different school of thoughts. These honourable scholars were discussing such kind of issues with arguments, respecting each other personalities and opinions, in addition they were mostly impartial and tolerant. These rectifications are related to different kinds such as Exagetical, Jurstical, Grammatical, Linguistical etc. At the end Rectification is a terminology which mean correction of mistake, completion of deficiency and clarification of ambiguity

Abstract:

The article deals with the image of the Eastern Partnership in the Polish opinion-forming press in the years 2009–2019. The aim of the Partnership was to strengthen the stability of the states to the east of the borders of the European Union, and thus to reduce the threats appearing in this region, which was equivalent to increasing the security of the EU itself. The article presents the results of a qualitative analysis of research material in the form of press texts published in two national daily newspapers (Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita) and two opinion weeklies (Newsweek Polska and Polityka). The main criterion for constructing the image of the Eastern Partnership in the opinion-forming press were the most important players participating in the Partnership’s programme, i.e. the European Union and Ukraine. The third separate entity was Russia, as an opponent of the European initiative. Another criterion of analysis was to indicate the assumptions of the programme, their implementation and results in the context of each of the parties mentioned. The analysed articles often presented opinions and assessments of representatives of non-governmental organisations, experts from analytical centres and politicians connected with the Partnership. The assumptions and activities of the European Union were generally positively evaluated in the articles, while the opinions were definitely negative concerning Russia’s activities. Concerning the opinions on the activities of state entities invited to the Eastern Partnership programme, these were partly positive, depending on the country and the period evaluated. Particularly much attention was paid to Ukraine in the articles. It should be stressed that, most often, the opinion-forming press wrote about the Eastern Partnership on the occasion of successive summit meetings of representatives of European Union institutions, Member States and the Eastern Partnership.

Opinions are the central theme to almost all human activities, as well the key influencers of our behaviours. Opinions related to sentiments, evaluations, attitudes, and emotions are the features of studying of opinion mining. It is important to study peoples of various communities sentiments about the schemes implemented by the government agencies as well as NGOs. The opinion mining is about the opinions of various communities of villages of a Panchayat about various social schemes implemented by the government of India. This article proposes an algorithm for opinion mining in a community graph for various social schemes run by the Panchayat using graph mining techniques. The algorithm has been implemented in C++ programming language.

Full text

Abstract:

Analysis of opinions, known as opinion mining or sentiment analysis, has attracted a great deal of attention recently due to many practical applications and challenging research problems. In this article, we study two important problems, namely, opinion lexicon expansion and opinion target extraction. Opinion targets (targets, for short) are entities and their attributes on which opinions have been expressed. To perform the tasks, we found that there are several syntactic relations that link opinion words and targets. These relations can be identified using a dependency parser and then utilized to expand the initial opinion lexicon and to extract targets. This proposed method is based on bootstrapping. We call it double propagation as it propagates information between opinion words and targets. A key advantage of the proposed method is that it only needs an initial opinion lexicon to start the bootstrapping process. Thus, the method is semi-supervised due to the use of opinion word seeds. In evaluation, we compare the proposed method with several state-of-the-art methods using a standard product review test collection. The results show that our approach outperforms these existing methods significantly.

Abstract:

From the outset, it should be made clear that this book is not a new text on cognitive neuroscience. It does not pretend to cover the whole area comprehensively and is unsuitable for those wanting a thorough introduction or overview of cognitive neuroscience with colored illustrations. Instead, this volume could be considered a companion to such a text. Findings and Current Opinion in Cognitive Neuroscience, contains a set of 46 articles carefully selected from Current Opinion in Neurobiology, which is part of an even wider series offering current opinions on a wide range of scientific–medical topics (e.g., Current Opinion in Neurology and Neurosurgery). Those who browse in medical or academic libraries will be familiar with the series, which is unique. Instead of the traditional journal format, a collection of short review articles are presented, each written by an expert in the particular field. Each article summarizes current thinking in the area or field, and concludes with an annotated bibliography. Six issues of each set of current opinions are published annually. Each issue is dedicated to a particular aspect of an area.

Abstract:

The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the ICJ’s advisory opinion of 25 February 2019 on the Chagos Archipelago. It will endeavour to answer the following questions: (i) is it consistent with the letter and the spirit of international law for the ICJ to issue advisory opinions in cases involving a dispute between states, which, due to the lack of consent from one of the states, cannot be brought before the ICJ and be settled by a judgment of that judicial body?; (ii) is such a ruling the right way to settle the issue of decolonization?; and (iii) did Brexit play any role in the case under discussion? The article begins by describing the background to the dispute between the UK and Mauritius. The focus of the analysis then shifts to the nature of advisory opinions and the 2019 ICJ advisory opinion on the Chagos Archipelago. Next, the authors discuss the possible impact of Brexit on the dispute between the UK and Mauritius itself, as well as on the UK’s international standing in general. The article concludes with reflections on voluntarism in international law. The authors conclude that de lege lata an authorized body or organization may ask the ICJ for an advisory opinion in situations where it believes that such an opinion would be useful for its work. However, such advisory opinions should not have the character of authoritative court statements made in pending disputes between sovereign states. As a consequence, such opinions should refer only to abstract legal problems, which means that in some cases the ICJ should refrain from issuing them.

Full text

Abstract:

The article analyzes some procedural and non-procedural factors that prevent the judge from assessing the expert's opinion in a criminal case freely. The article states that, in the existing law enforcement realities, the expert's opinion acquires the status of an absolute evidence having a pre-determined value. This is due to the de facto lack of competition between the parties in the procedures for appointing and producing an examination, as well as to the difficulty of assessing this type of evidence by a judge in the absence of special knowledge for that. Purpose: to develop theoretical provisions justifying the need to improve the procedures for the appointment and production of expert opinions, as well as the assessment of expert opinions by the court, in order to ensure judicial independence. The paper uses the methods of system analysis, synthesis, sociological polling and generalization. The author concludes that ensuring the freedom of judge’ inner conviction when assessing an expert's opinion directly depends on expanding the possibilities of using an alternative opinion of another person with a specialized knowledge in the same area - the expert's opinion and testimony. In this regard, it is proposed that the law should make it mandatory to grant requests by parties for expert opinions to be admitted and examined in court, and that the results of such research should be reflected in the text of the court decision on the case.

Full text

Abstract:

Fine-grained opinion analysis methods often make use of linguistic features but typically do not take the interaction between opinions into account. This article describes a set of experiments that demonstrate that relational features, mainly derived from dependency-syntactic and semantic role structures, can significantly improve the performance of automatic systems for a number of fine-grained opinion analysis tasks: marking up opinion expressions, finding opinion holders, and determining the polarities of opinion expressions. These features make it possible to model the way opinions expressed in natural-language discourse interact in a sentence over arbitrary distances. The use of relations requires us to consider multiple opinions simultaneously, which makes the search for the optimal analysis intractable. However, a reranker can be used as a sufficiently accurate and efficient approximation. A number of feature sets and machine learning approaches for the rerankers are evaluated. For the task of opinion expression extraction, the best model shows a 10-point absolute improvement in soft recall on the MPQA corpus over a conventional sequence labeler based on local contextual features, while precision decreases only slightly. Significant improvements are also seen for the extended tasks where holders and polarities are considered: 10 and 7 points in recall, respectively. In addition, the systems outperform previously published results for unlabeled (6 F-measure points) and polarity-labeled (10–15 points) opinion expression extraction. Finally, as an extrinsic evaluation, the extracted MPQA-style opinion expressions are used in practical opinion mining tasks. In all scenarios considered, the machine learning features derived from the opinion expressions lead to statistically significant improvements.

Abstract:

Several important studies have examined congruency between presidential policy position taking and public opinion. Much of this policy-public opinion scholarship, however, explores reflexive responsive pathways between representative and represented, where presidents read public opinion and respond to the opinions of the known public. A less explored aspect of presidential responsiveness to public opinion is the idea of presidential anticipation of future public opinion similar to Key’s (1964) concept of latent opinion. In this article, we offer a simple measure of anticipatory public opinion. Confirming what Key speculated about latent opinion, we find that presidents are more likely to successfully anticipate public preferences when the issue is salient and when elections are approaching, whereas popularity matters very little. Based upon these findings, presidents tend to look outward at the future political environment they face rather than inward (at current popularity) in anticipating reactions to new policy agendas.

This study uses literature research, because the study of Islamic law will seek answers through literature, both in the form of legal propositions and opinions of the scholars. From the results of this study found the answer that there are two opinions of scholars about the law of building a mosque with zakat property. The first opinion allows and the second opinion does not allow. While the author more tends to the opinion that does not allow, because zakat is the right of people (ashnaf) while the construction of the mosque can be obtained fromwakaf ummah.

Abstract:

The grounds of authority for the Catalan language have shifted from authenticity to anonymity, as Catalan becomes redefined as a public language. The “model of language” of the Catalan press reflects this shift, with an emphasis on neutral, transparent Catalan. This article examines original and published letters to the editor in a Catalan-medium newspaper in Barcelona. I argue that standardization of language, page design and signatures in the letters to the editor erases the social indexicality that attaches the original letters to their socially positioned authors. This process of standardization in linguistic and other semiotic modes allows the published letters to index a unified Catalan national “public” rather than their distinct authors.

Abstract:

This article presents a stochastic opinion dynamics model where (a) the opinion of each agent in a network is modeled as a probability distribution as against a point object, (b) consensus is defined as the stability region of the ensuing set of stochastic difference equations, and (c) compromise solutions can be derived between agents who don't have a consensus. The model is well suited for tracking opinion dynamics over large online systems such as Twitter and Yelp where opinions need to be extracted from the user-generated text data. Theoretical conditions for the existence of consensus and the impact that stubborn agents have on opinion dynamics are also presented.

Abstract:

Micro-blogs are a powerful tool to express an opinion. Twitter is one of the fastest growing micro-blogs and has more than 900 million users. Twitter is a rich source of opinion as users share their daily experience of life and respond to specific events using tweets on twitter. In this article, an automatic opinion classifier capable of automatically classifying tweets into different opinions expressed by them is developed. Also, a manually annotated corpus for opinion mining to be used by supervised learning algorithms is designed. An opinion classifier uses semantic, lexical, domain dependent, and context features for classification. Results obtained confirm competitive performance and the robustness of the system. Classifier accuracy is more than 75.05%, which is higher than the baseline accuracy.

Abstract:

As a recently emerged information service on the Chinese Internet, online public opinion analysis (网络舆情分析) is a type of service to monitor, assess, and synthesize online public communication through automated software and trained individuals. This article provides an industry overview of the rise of online public opinion in China and examines the political economy of the People’s Public Opinion Office. Second, this article looks at the marketing of the profession in news coverage, training materials, as well as published interviews with People’s Public Opinion Office’s managers and experts. Through a close reading of People’s Public Opinion Office’s published annual reports from 2007 to 2016 focusing on the issue of online rumor, this article delineates how the identification and prognostics of online rumor evolves with the State’s anti-rumor campaign that aims to forestall or pacify collective action. In sum, this article sets to examine the professionalization and industrialization of online public opinion analysis as a part of the co-evolutionary dynamics between the state and civil society in China. Using the government’s anti-rumor campaign as an example, this article critically investigates the mediating role online public opinion analysis plays in the “sausage factory” of public opinion gauging and monitoring, which sets the basis upon which policymaking process is guided and justified.

Abstract:

<p>The right to freedom of expression and opinion is the right to freely express beliefs and opinions through words (spoken), written, printings, pictures, and certain media. But unfortunately, this right is often misused. An old maxim once said: <em>neminem loedit qui suo iure utitur</em> which means “he who uses a right injures no one”. Based on the maxim, a thought has been developed that use of right or authority must be an act according to law, so it is not at once caused an unlawful action. The question of this study compares legals norm between the right to freedom of expression and opinion in Indonesia and United States of America (USA). This study aims to find out the difference between legals norm of right to freedom of expression and opinion towards law system in Indonesia and USA. The right to express and hold opinion both in Indonesia and USA has been recognized as human right under the constitution. Furthermore, the right to freedom of expression and opinion in USA is protected under Virginia Bill of Rights document (June 12, 1776), Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776), and the Act. While in Indonesia it is guaranteed by Article 28, Article 28E paragraph (2), Article 28E paragraph (3) and Article 28F in Indonesian Constitution 1945. Any restrictions on freedom of expression and opinion in USA is prescribed by court judgement, for example the case of Schenk vs US (1919) and Whitney vs California (1919). Whereas in Indonesia, limitations on the right to freedom of expression and opinion is regulated by some statutes.</p>

Abstract:

Abstract Islamic law has emerged from a range of highly religious treaties to highly practical methods, which have resulted in its practices established on a worldwide level. There are several interpretations of the Qurʾān and Sunnah, which in turn have led to differences in methodological practices and opinion. In relation to Islamic financial law, this article will investigate how each opinion derives and coincides with Shariʿah law in its own way, thoroughly explaining why differences (ikhtilāf) have occurred and exist. In the author’s opinion, differences in schools of thought (ikhtilāf) are valid in that they each follow the principles and processes of forming opinions within Shariʿah law (ijtihād) which will be elucidated in this article. From reading this article, one can also derive how Shariʿah law is actually flexible and open to progression in all times, whereas common intellectual stereotypes and partial understanding of the text often negates this.

Abstract:

On 18 December 2014 the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) delivered Opinion 2/13 and stunned the legal world by declaring that the Draft Agreement on the Accession of the EU to the European Convention on Human Rights (the Accession Agreement) was incompatible with the constituent treaties of the Union. Although some experts, admittedly, had been skeptical about certain aspects of Draft Accession Agreement, no one seems to have expected an opinion so critical and uncompromising. The opinion has consequently received widespread disapproval in the EU legal blogosphere.

Abstract:

In this article, we use a discrete system to study the opinion dynamics regarding the electoral preferences of a nontendentious group of agents. To measure the level of preference, a continuous opinion space is used, in which the preference (opinion) can evolve from any political option, to any other; for a regime of three parties, a circle is the convenient space. To model a nonbiased society, new agents are considered. Besides their opinion, they have a new attribute: an individual iterative monoparametric map that imitates a process of internal reflection, allowing them to update their opinion in their own way. These iterative maps introduce six fixed points on the opinion space; the points’ stability depends on the sign of the parameter. When the latter is positive, three attractors are identified with political options, while the repulsors are identified with the antioptions (preferences diametrically opposed to each political choice). In this new model, pairs of agents interact only if their respective opinions are alike; a positive number called confidence bound is introduced with this purpose; if opinions are similar, they update their opinion considering each other’s opinion, while if they are not alike, each agent updates her opinion considering only her individual map. In addition, agents give a certain level of trust (weight) to other agent’s opinions; this results in a positive stochastic matrix of weights which models the social network. The model can be reduced to a pair of coupled nonlinear difference equations, making extracting analytical results possible: a theorem on the conditions governing the existence of consensus in this new artificial society. Some numerical simulations are provided, exemplifying the analytical results.

Abstract:

This article explores the need of a government regulation that will play a vital role in US long-term economic/environmental/energy stability strategy. It is also important to remember that at every stage of the rulemaking process, there are opportunities for the general public to voice opinions about the rule, and the agency is often required by law to consider each of these comments. The regulatory uncertainty is nearly as detrimental as the regulations themselves, and it is often counterproductive to the goal of improving the environment. Expert points out that the regulatory uncertainty is nearly as detrimental as the regulations themselves, and it is often counterproductive to the goal of improving the environment. The United States has abundant natural resources and the technical expertise to harness them. Now there is only a need to put in place policies that positively impact our energy picture and carefully consider policies that interfere with that goal.

Abstract:

Abstract:This article evaluates the policy positions of President James Buchanan through the concept of latent opinion, or politicians worrying less about current public opinion and more about what it will be at the next election. Though Buchanan is often viewed as disconnected from the public’s opinions, the evidence shows that his positions on Kansas statehood and the acquisition of Cuba (or Mexican territory) were shaped by his perceptions of, and concerns over, what future public opinion would be in 1860. Though Buchanan was ultimately unsuccessful on both fronts, this study reveals that he was not simply unresponsive to public opinion, which is the common interpretation. Instead, the president’s policy positions were firmly tied to his views on latent opinion. Thus, the findings add a new dimension to scholarly understandings of James Buchanan’s policy priorities while displaying how latent opinion can be a beneficial construct in policy history.

Abstract:

Since the 2000s, numerous start-ups and agencies have argued for the necessity of analyzing social media data to ‘know what people think’, as they are deemed to provide access to spontaneous expression of thoughts, tastes, and representations. How do these actors, and the various types of knowledge and technology they draw upon, change the way we know and act upon people’s opinions? This article offers insight on these understudied actors, by describing the emergence in France of a market for measuring online opinion. It shows two distinct trajectories of innovation, and the key role played by the early clients of these companies and by the demand for tools for online reputation management in the shaping of these instruments, and the definition of epistemic value. Both approaches of online opinion break with the classical egalitarian conception of public opinion. They instead conceive opinion as a mediated and collective process in which not all opinions have an equal value.

Abstract:

Social media house a trove of relevant information for the study of online opinion dynamics. However, harvesting and analyzing the sheer overload of data that is produced by these media poses immense challenges to journalists, researchers, activists, policy makers, and concerned citizens. To mitigate this situation, this article discusses the creation of (social) media observatories: platforms that enable users to capture the complexities of social behavior, in particular the alignment and misalignment of opinions, through computational analyses of digital media data. The article positions the concept of “observatories” for social media monitoring among ongoing methodological developments in the computational social sciences and humanities and proceeds to discuss the technological innovations and design choices behind social media observatories currently under development for the study of opinions related to cultural and societal issues in European spaces. Notable attention is devoted to the construction of Penelope: an open, web-services-based infrastructure that allows different user groups to consult and contribute digital tools and observatories that suit their analytical needs. The potential and the limitations of this approach are discussed on the basis of a climate change opinion observatory that implements text analysis tools to study opinion dynamics concerning themes such as global warming. Throughout, the article explicitly acknowledges and addresses potential risks of the machine-guided and human-incentivized study of opinion dynamics. Concluding remarks are devoted to a synthesis of the ethical and epistemological implications of the exercise of positioning observatories in contemporary information spaces and to an examination of future pathways for the development of social media observatories.

Abstract:

Opinion Mining is an area that has attracted many researchers, which resulted in several works. There are two types of approaches for detecting opinion: Approaches based on the corpus (Corpus-based Approach) and other approaches based on dictionary (Dictionary-based Approach). In this article, the authors will make a comparative study between the two approaches: the Bayesian method of Turney for the first approach; for the second approach, the authors will study the detection of opinion by the SentiWordNet and then the introduction of fuzzy logic is seen in this method. This study aims to study the theoretical and practical limitations of these two approaches.

Abstract:

This 2 × 2 experimental study (N = 196) tested the effects of source expertise and opinion valence in readers’ comments on the credibility of an online news story about genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Source expertise had a significant influence on perceptions of article credibility; articles were judged more credible when public comments embedded in the story were from expert sources (e.g., scientists) rather than nonexpert sources (e.g., Twitter users). Effects were larger on high-frequency news users, regardless of whether comments were for or against GMOs. Results suggest that Internet users mainly use the peripheral or heuristic route of information processing to evaluate online news credibility. The importance for online journalism of social heuristics via opinions of other people is discussed.
