This index, which draws from the ASNE 16-item semantic differential scale, is a close
variation of the newspaper believability index developed by Meyer (see Meyer, "Defining and
Measuring") and found by West to be reliable and empirically valid (see West, "Validating a
Scale"). This approach provides a cohesive measure of credibility (Cronbach alpha = .95) and
eliminates items of the ASNE scale that are arguably superfluous (i.e. whether a paper is
“patriotic” and “moral”).
