Abstract
Internet users are growing rapidly around the world. The main
concern regarding the online content is that who is providing
reliable information on the Internet. To know the credibility of
Internet information among Indian readers, an online survey was
conducted, and 3183 respondents took part in the study. The
questionnaires were distributed using social media platforms. Male
news consumers were higher than female news consumers. The
findings of the study show that most of the online readers believe
that the websites of news organizations provide credible
information. Interestingly female readers have more faith in
Government websites, private companies and personal blogs as
compared to males. Text content is the most favorite content for the
online news consumers
