This book is a comprehensive investigation into news consumption and news credibility in broad terms. The chief aim is to understand the relationship between university students' consumption of satellite TV news services and their perceptions of news issues. This involves examining students' general news consumption habits and their motives for the choices they make. In the face of competition from well-resourced broadcasters such as Al Jazeera TV, what can local Libyan news services do to retain audience interest and loyalty? Do they need to do anything different? Is there room for local and international news in Libya?. It also explores whether the new satellite TV news services such as Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya have affected young adults' use of local TV news channels. Have local channels been displaced by newer channels and is the use of different channels driven by the same or different news consumption motives? Perceptions of the quality of news provision by these different channels are also examined as a factor that could mediate consumption patterns. The results that emerge from this research indicate that there are distinct variations in news consumption defined in part by news platform (TV versus radio versus newspaper) and in part by type of news providers (local versus international TV). The book reveals that university students seek out news sources they believe to be credible and that local TV news provision is far from reaching the students' standards of credibility. Highly educated participants show an appetite for news that extends far beyond the diet provided by local government-controlled services. In content terms, there may be room in the evolving news landscape for local TV services to occupy a niche market that still has value for the Libyan public. To retain this market, however, quality of delivery will also be crucial.
