Abstract: Trust in media brands and its implications for consumer behaviour, perception of (social) reality and the impact on advertisers present in media environments is of growing interest. While previous publications provided fundamental insights into the nature of trust in the media, only highly theoretical approaches on the measurement of trust in media brands have been presented so far. This paper is building on the media brand trust scale presented in a previous publication and aims for the reduction of the scale to a version better applicable in practice. Resulting from this approach, it presents a medium and short version of the media brand trust scale, providing different levels of insights into the construct while retaining the core objective (i.e. measuring trust in media brands).
