credibility of the news on SNSs. This quantitative study presents and discusses
empirical findings from a survey of 242 Jordanian journalists by questionnaire.
Results: The results indicate that scoop always pushes journalists to communicate with
sources that have a high level of quality and honesty to get real information. In
addition, the results of this study provide positive evidence about the importance of
scoop in maintaining the credibility of the news, journalist, and media, due to the
ongoing verification of the sources that provide news to journalists. Therefore, the
application of credibility criteria in dealing with news on social media contribute to the
organization of this media phenomenon to become more useful to journalists and

and the increased use of social networking sites as a source of news, will contribute to
maintaining the use of scoop among journalists, especially given that citizens needing
