%X Using Sundar¡¯s MAIN Model, a 2 (sharing applications: present/absent) ¡Á 2 (news platforms: blogs/traditional newspaper sites) ¡Á 4 (stories) experiment with college students found news stories on traditional newspaper sites have more perceived credibility and quality but not newsworthiness and likability. Social media sharing applications¡¯ presence alone did not influence news perception, suggesting a potentially important role of associated number of shares. Sharing applications also sometimes may work differently on blogs versus traditional newspaper sites
