Other ways that the story achieves creditability is if the author abstains from ideologically loaded words such as ' enemy', 'fundamentalist' and so forth. This is particularly difficult when writing from an involved, and culturally biased perspective.
Thirdly, the author by quoting credible sources -- and this is particularly so for a scientific-based article -- indicates his creditability in this way. The more complete sources that he or she quotes with full details and facts -- all of this adds to his credibility. Numbers and facts (such s names, dates and so forth) also add to the creditably of the news source and, in the case of a controversial...

Similarly, too lapses in the reporter's judgment and misquoted or inaccurate facts and details have a rebounding effect by bringing his entire report into question.
All together, general media has lost much of its credibility and this may be due to the fact that it is associated as a moneymaking machine.

New Media Implications The improvement of internet and other technology and its ready availability to more and more people has revolutionized the structure and population of the media around the world. People that would normally be members of the audience have become the creators of news and vice versa. The lines that separate news makers and people that normally would be making news or expected to make news have blurred significantly
Media Control in Egypt The media in Egypt is much more controlled than in many other countries, including the United States. That control began with President Gamal Abdel Nasser, moved through Anwar Sadat, and then on to Hosni Mubarak. During that time, the television and newspapers were strictly controlled, and only what the president wanted people to see was placed in them. There is significant evidence that the control of the

First blogs were the dominant channel for consumers to share their product and service experiences with companies and as Facebook and Twitter have become more dominant, the speed, velocity and volume of feedback has escalated nearly exponentially. All of this now puts consumers in a highly influential position relative to brands (Bernoff, Li, 2008) and the rapid assessment of their social media marketing strategies as well (Hennig-Thurau, Gwinner, Walsh,
These responsibilities notwithstanding, the American public was already being conditioned to view the war in Iraq as a battle against extremists, that is, against the Islamist radicals who had threatened the "American" way" of life on September 11, 2001. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson had already inflamed America's own Christian fundamentalists with talk that the terrible events of that day were to blame in part on "the gays and
