Partly true - The journalist who made the decision: gr_04
The verification of the information source in the article from Rzeczpospolita has been subjected to verification through individual criteria.- Faithfulness to facts - The article is inaccurate because it addresses the issue of which animal may be the source of the coronavirus epidemic, but based on other sources, it can also be stated that the animal responsible for the epidemic is not a bat but a pangolin. Therefore, the article does not specify precisely; it merely presents one of the possible scenarios.
- Timeliness (up-to-date) -The article is not up-to-date as it was current during the pandemic, which means during the years of its duration.
- Reliability - The reliability of this article was not very high at that time because there was not enough information available about Covid-19 during those times. Even today, the exact causes of the pandemic are not fully known.
- Clarity and precision of expression/ speech - Due to the fact that this is only a part of the article and the rest is behind a paywall, it is not possible to thoroughly assess the clarity and precision of expression. However, based on the excerpt, it can be concluded that the article is relatively reliable but repetitive.
- Large-scale events (disasters, wars, terrorist attacks ) - It was a large-scale event - pandemic.
- Proximity to the scene - Worldwide
- Significance - At that time, it was important information.
- Continuity - Currently, this is not a continued topic, possibly explored in some smaller-scale researches.
- Personalization - The text is aimed at the average person and addresses the basic question regarding the pandemic.
- Tragedism - The topic of the pandemic itself is tragic due to its worldwide impact.
- Drama and action - The text lacks action; it is rather subdued and focuses on one issue, describing it in detail.
