Findings offer a cautionary tale for news organizations because even a few low-quality news videos on a newspaper website might damage newspapers' fervent effort to attract a younger audience.

Editors should be much more critical of the videos they post and journalists should have multimedia training.

Factors tested in this study are drawn from theories (e.g., social contract theory and uses and gratification theory) and constructs (e.g., trust/self-disclosure relationships, time spent on Facebook, number of Facebook friends, and gender difference). Findings suggest the potential of all the factors examined in this study as frameworks to explain self-disclosure behavior on Facebook. This social media-specific study offers evidence that these theories may have implications that are different from the current e-commerce literature on self-disclosure. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Findings showed that students were more likely to disclose their location on Facebook if their friends did so, a concept called subjective norm. Results also showed that subjective norm had an indirect effect on whether people disclosed their location, mediated through people’s attitude toward disclosure, while controlling for usefulness of disclosing. Collectively, this model explained 61% of the variance in why college students share locations on Facebook. Findings are discussed in relation to behavioral-intention models, and practical implications for social media companies are offered.

In addition, low-quality news videos diminished how these news consumers’ perceived the news videos, the newspaper and its credibility. Results are discussed in relation to ramifications for attracting a younger news audience and uses and gratifications theory.

Overall, people preferred longer, high-quality videos to any other type, including shorter, high-quality videos. Findings highlight the need for multimedia training for all journalists and suggest newspapers should be selective in what videos they post online.
