Penyebaran berita palsu sering terjadi di internet dan media sosial. Kemampuan literasi media, termasuk pengetahuan tentang kepemilikan media, penting untuk membantu kita mengevaluasi informasi. Kepemilikan media mempengaruhi konten berita yang diciptakan oleh media tersebut. Oleh karena itu, mengetahui kepemilikan media dapat membantu konsumen menelaah kembali berita yang dipublikasi oleh media. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah edukasi tentang kepemilikan media dapat memengaruhi persepsi kredibilitas berita daring. Peneliti melakukan studi eksperimental dengan desain between-subject post-test only. Sebanyak 132 mahasiswa sarjana Universitas Indonesia berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Apparent Reality and Source Credibility Indices digunakan untuk mengukur persepsi kredibilitas. Hasil analisis independent samples t-test menunjukkan bahwa edukasi literasi media tentang media ownership tidak berpengaruh pada persepsi kredibilitas artikel berita.
