Credibility is enhanced most greatly when both hyperlink and writer information are included and, to a lesser extent, when just hyperlink or writer information is present.

According to the Watson Wyatt 2007/2008 Communication ROI Study, effective employee communication is a leading indicator of financial performance, meaning that companies that invest in employee communication and implement or improve communication practices typically see higher subsequent financial returns. As communication professionals, their role is increasingly vital to the health and prosperity of the organizations they support.

Juries routinely dismiss expert testimony due to credibility problems, incomprehensibility, or simply because it is cancelled out by another expert's testimony. This leads to a number of important questions for the attorney and the expert in presenting testimony at trial. What exactly is credibility? Is an expert an advocate? How objective is an expert supposed to be?

A survey of 4,800 news sources cited in fourteen newspapers provides a cross-market assessment of newspaper accuracy and the effect of errors on newspaper credibility. Sources found errors in 61% of local news and feature stories, an inaccuracy rate among the highest reported in nearly seventy years of accuracy research. Newspaper credibility, as perceived by news sources, significantly declined in relation to frequency and severity of errors. Inaccuracy negatively affected source willingness to cooperate with the press. Subjective errors were considered most egregious, suggesting that how a story is conveyed is at least as important as getting the facts straight.

A "longtime reliable source, a senior U.S. government official who was knowledgeable about the matter" told Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff that U.S. military investigators would include in their written report that American guards at the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had flushed a Quran down a toilet in an effort to get detainees to talk. Ted Vaden, public editor of The News & Observer in Raleigh, wrote a column answering readers who had asked why the paper did not report that the Bush administration had concluded there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Looking at the uprising around the world today, it would be best for us to act credibly and take action when things go wrong to avoid a similar fate. THE letter `T' and suffix `ty' - both pronounced `tee' - have recently intrigued me greatly. While the latest `T' as in `Datuk T' stands for `Trio', the `T' of 25 years ago precisely referred to Mr T, an equally intriguing character in the then-popular TV series called `The A Team'. Incidentally, around that time, the Umno faction that won the 1987 leadership contest was similarly known as the `A Team'. The beaten faction was the `B Team' They were led respectively by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah who contested the party's presidency.

This study investigated the relationship between students' motives to communicate (i.e., relational, functional, participatory, excuse making, and sycophantic) with their instructors and perceived instructor credibility, attractiveness, and homophily. 150 undergraduate students (85 men, 64 women, one did not indicate sex) enrolled at a large Mid-Atlantic university completed the Student Motives to Communicate Scale, the Measure of Source Credibility Scale, the revised Measure of Interpersonal Attraction Scale, and the revised Measure of Homophily scale. Analysis indicated that the functional motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor character and caring. Moreover, the relational motive was correlated positively with perceived instructor social and physical attractivenes...

HARRISBURG -- Attorneys for two former Penn State University administrators charged with failing to report a child sex crime allegation against Jerry Sandusky vow to use public appearances to attack the credibility of his chief accuser, assistant football coach Mike McQueary. If it were true that Mr. McQueary actually observed Mr. Sandusky sodomizing a 10-year-old boy in the shower, any information that depicts Mr. McQueary socializing with Mr. Sandusky at any time after the alleged 2002 incident raises doubts about Mr. McQueary's grand jury testimony and calls Mr. McQueary's credibility into serious question," Pittsburgh attorney Thomas J. Farrell said Tuesday.
