There has been an enormous growth of TV channels in Bangladesh. As a result, TV news has become very popular among other programs. This study attempted to explore the variations in the perceived credibility of TV news in Bangladesh and how the joint distribution of constructs explaining credibility is affected by different demographic groups. The study concludes that gender and education level significantly impact overall credibility perceptions.
