Credibility Across Industries

Source credibility differs across industries. What counts as a credible source depends on the topic. A source that is reliable for U.S. politics might not be the best choice for sports, technology, or climate coverage.

U.S. Politics

Credible sources for U.S. political news are those known for factual reporting, balanced coverage, and transparency in sourcing.

Examples: AP News, Reuters, PBS NewsHour, NPR

Sports

Credible sports reporting comes from outlets that focus on professional coverage, official statistics, and verified updates rather than rumors.

Examples: ESPN, The Athletic, Associated Press Sports, Sports Illustrated

Technology

Credible technology sources provide verified reporting on product releases, policy changes, and industry trends.

Examples: The Verge, Wired, Ars Technica, TechCrunch

Climate

When it comes to climate and natural events, credibility depends on accuracy, verification, and the use of official data.

Examples: National Weather Service (NWS), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Hurricane Center (NOAA), NASA GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP)
