This study examines the influence of AI-generated content on media credibility and audience trust within the framework of Mass Communication. As media organizations increasingly adopt AI tools for news writing, content curation, and automated reporting, concerns have arisen regarding the accuracy, transparency, and reliability of such content. The study adopts a descriptive survey research design, utilizing both primary and secondary data. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to media audiences and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The findings reveal that while AI-generated content enhances speed, efficiency, and accessibility of information, it also raises significant concerns about misinformation, lack of human judgment, and reduced editorial accountability. Furthermore, the study shows that audience trust in media is influenced by perceptions of authenticity, credibility, and transparency. Many respondents express skepticism toward AI-generated news, particularly when there is no clear disclosure of AI involvement. However, when AI content is properly verified and supported by human oversight, trust levels tend to improve. The study concludes that AI-generated content has a dual impact on media credibility; it can both enhance and undermine trust depending on how it is implemented and managed. To maintain credibility, media organizations must ensure transparency in AI usage, uphold ethical standards, and integrate human editorial control into AI-driven processes. The study recommends that media institutions develop clear guidelines for AI content usage, prioritize fact-checking mechanisms, and promote media literacy among audiences to better navigate AI-generated information. These measures are essential for sustaining public trust in an increasingly automated media environment....Preview Download Preview +Other Mass Communication project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of social media on students academic performance (a study of students of university of Abuja) »Impact of social media on modern journalism (a study of journalists in Makurdi metropolis) »Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on radio news reporting (a study of Atlantic FM Uyo) »Perception of cyber crime among Nigerian youths (a study of Caritas university) »The effect of government ownership and control of mass media objectivity reporting (a case study of Enugu state broadcasting services) »Coverage of foreign news by Nigerian newspapers: A content analysis of vanguard and daily sun newspapers»Audience perception of Nigerian newspapers on the internet»Impact of mobile phone on agricultural information among Otukpo farmers»The Effects of Television Commercials on Buying Habits of Enugu Metropolis ( A Case Study of Omo and Elephant Detergents )»Influence of news censorship on the performance of media houses in Nigeria (a study of Nasarawa broadcasting service, Lafia) »Importance of indigenous language in broadcasting media»Role of communication technology in improving work efficiency of AIT staff (a study of AIT Abuja) »Influence of television advertising on consumer buying habits of Guinness stout in Ikeja community of Lagos state»The effect of AKBC tv peak milk advertisement on the consumers buying habit»Effect of public relations on the consumer (a case study of premier breweries plc)
