International Journal of Internet Marketing and Advertising (IJIMA), Vol. 14, No. 2, 2020

Abstract: The explosion of new media and usage represents one of the most significant trends in marketing communications today. One of the major challenges in this environment is which type of media is most effective at communicating a corporate message.

A blog is perceived as having higher source credibility than a print ad.
