Pertamina: Media's Credibility Matters More Than Mere Reach
Published
SURABAYA – Pertamina stated that speed of information and wide news reach are not sufficient measures of a media outlet's quality. The statement was made in Surabaya and has drawn attention in Indonesia's press community.
According to the statement, a good media outlet is not judged solely by how quickly news is published or how many people read it. Equally important is credibility, namely the level of public trust in the content of the news. Credibility relates to the accuracy, clarity, and reliability of the information conveyed to the public.
The statement suggests that the number of readers or followers is no guarantee that a media outlet provides truthful information. Therefore, media must maintain accuracy and public trust so that the information received by the public can be held accountable.
Pertamina emphasized that credibility must be the primary basis for assessing the quality of media. Complete information about this statement, including its context and the parties involved, can still be followed from the related news source.
