As journalists, how the public perceives our actions holds nearly as much significance as the actions. Likewise, our perception of truth proves just as important as the reality of a matter. Had the Gwen Ifill taken this stance (as I noted in a recent post), her integrity may not have received the criticism it did.
Recently, a friend e-mailed me a link that looked quite credible. The video format, the news organization name and quality all seemed so legit. After further examination however, I had to change my perception. I realized "that's how rumors get started."
