Impartial News

Despite its affiliation to the Christianity, the channel’s reporting seems impartial and fair. A story headlined“ High Death Toll in Baghdad Bombings” is filed by a reporter of renowned news agency, Associated Press, where he has given multiple sources including quotes from two top politicians, a senior army officer and press release of the Prime Minister’s office. This makes the story more truthful, reliable and credible.

In addition to this the US ambassador to Iraq and eye witness are also quoted as giving account of the incident and background information adding more spices to the tragic news.

By-line stories of news media are generally reliable. The news agency, Associated Press, adds the reliability and credibility of the news story further more. In addition to this, multiple high level sources are directly quoted therefore there is no any question about the reliability and credibility of the story. Furthermore, a number of Associated Press writers have contributed to this news. The news seems to be verified, cross checked and followed all the journalistic code of ethics. This is an example of credible news reporting.
