  • Predicting tolerance of journalistic deception.Seow Ting Lee - 2005 - Journal of Mass Media Ethics 20 (1):22 – 42.

Television journalists have a higher tolerance of deception than print journalists. Overall, organizational factors such as medium and organization size are better predictors of deception tolerance than individual-level variables such as age, education, work experience, journalism as a college major, or (...)
