Reliable means being worthy of reliance or trust that warrants reliance on what is published as a reliable source of information.

Earning the confidence of others requires honesty and fidelity to truth.

Being honest, or honorable in our work means not being disposed to lie, cheat or defraud and not behaving in a deceptive or fraudulent way.

Responsible means being worthy of or requiring responsibility or trust, willing to be held accountable.

All of these ideas are central to legitimate journalism as well as the foundations for many terms used here and elsewhere to describe the characteristics and qualities of journalists, editors and reporters.
