US FINDS CREDIBILITY IN TV OVER SOCIAL BOOKMARKING

Hayneville, AL ( PressReleaseCollection ) November 14th, 2008 - Figures from the 2008 Opinion Research Corporation’s national survey show US citizens are more willing to trust television news over news sources on the Internet, such as <a href="http://www.excellentguide.com/social">social bookmarking</a> sites where each members submit websites they think newsworthy. <br /><br />Free shoppers were deemed the least trustworthy source in the survey sponsored by ARA Net. Those who took the survey were asked to rank each media source out of 10. Television got an all-time high of 6.6 on the scale while in the middle were online sources (5.6) and at the bottom were free shoppers with 3.5. <br /><br />The survey throws up interesting results, but it doesn’t explain why online resources where users submit websites for social bookmarking are trusted less than news stories on the Television. It suggests the quality and validity of news stories in some areas of the media need to improve and that is where companies like ExcellentGuide are seeing high demand for their services. <br /><br />“As more people go online for news, it’s more critical than ever for sites to deliver credible content” says President of ARA Net, Scott Severson “users need direct access to the information they’re looking for”. <br /><br />The <a href="http://www.excellentguide.com">ExcellentGuide</a> directory was founded by Roderick Coleman in 2005 and uses a distinctive ranking system. When a user chooses to submit websites to ExcellentGuide they are ranked in terms of usability and validity before being listed.
