com was the source chosen in analyzing aspects of credibility.com is soaring due to the overwhelming success and longevity of the network. It's a regular household name, and a source that's reliable for providing sports fanatics with their dose of everything from breaking news, to rumors, and contradicting points of views. I feel that sports web sites win credibility by focusing their sites in ways that people find pleasing and by not overloading the site with advertising. First off, I find ESPN.com highly credible due to the breadth of information available. If you can't find it there, there's a high probability that it doesn't exist. The information presented is straightforward and easy to follow. The potential bias that occurs at this website only enhances my experience, as the bias is varied and enables me to have the last opinion. The information is laid out in a way that everything is within a click of a finger, or two. This is a huge factor in my credibility rating as I"m only obligated to read or listen to the articles and reports that interest me. Being forced to listen to reports from various network sports shows, including ESPN is like being dragged through the mud. Before you can hear the story you've been waiting for, they like to take you on a sideshow detour, and the frustration of listening to a manicured puppet reading off a teleprompt. I much prefer to read it straight from the source, and I"ll be more than happy to put my own spin on it. If I must watch the manicured puppet on the .com, I at least have the choice of what I want shoved down my throat. I might not read or listen to all the information at ESPN.com, but simply having it available produces a sense of credibility, suggesting the site is authoritative. The advertisements on ESPN.com are not harmful to the site's credibility rating because I don't feel the content of the site is swayed or controlled by its advertisements.
