Online media that prioritize speed in conveying information often make
mistakes, which of course affect the meaning and quality of news. Because online
media only cares about speed so that meeting the audience's needs for information
does not provide good. Credibility is an important component of a mass media
industry, but sometimes journalists often forget about it in pursuit of actuality. The
speed put forward by online media journalists is often the main cause of the
exclusion of credibility of the content of the news. This raises problems and triggers
questions about the credibility and quality of information in online media,
especially those in Indonesia, which are currently increasing. This type of research
is field research with a quantitative approach. Quantitative research emphasizes
objective phenomena and is studied quantitatively. The maximization of the
objectivity of the design of this study was carried out using figures, statistical
processing, structure and controlled experiments. Quantitative research is carried
out by collecting data in the form of numbers, or data in the form of words or
sentences that are converted into data in the form of numbers. Salwen, Garrison,
and Driscoll (2005) conducted a study of media credibility in America in 2002
aimed at looking at the primary components of credibility in online news. Reliable
news includes the dimensions of trustworthiness, believability, accuracy, report the
whole story, balance, and fairness. Contemporary in the news that includes
dimensions of currency, up to date, and timeliness. Unbiased in news that includes
dimensions of bias, and objectives.
