What a Credibility Score Can and Cannot Tell You
A credibility score indicates how reliable a news source or article is likely to be, based on observable signals: historical track record, sourcing quality, and journalistic standards. It cannot verify individual facts; for that you need fact-checking. Think of it as a risk-adjusted starting point, not a verdict.
Key points
- A credibility score measures historical patterns and article-level signals, not whether specific claims are true.
- No credibility score can verify individual facts. That requires fact-checking.
- High credibility scores indicate a strong track record and good sourcing practices, not guaranteed accuracy.
- Low scores warrant extra scrutiny but do not prove an article is false.
- Credibility scores are most useful when combined with cross-source comparison and critical reading.
