The criteria mentioned earlier, such as accuracy, transparency, accountability, and objectivity, are established through the consensus of relevant experts in the respective fields, such as journalism or scientific research. The judgments of these experts are based on a combination of empirical evidence, scientific principles, and established best practices in the field. This makes these criteria to be based on relatively objective standards rather than individual opinions. Additionally, many organizations have established principles and codes of conduct that require adherence to these criteria as a condition for membership or accreditation, which further builds broad consensus on what constitutes reliable and trustworthy information sources. Nevertheless, human judgment and individual bias can always play a role in the assessment process, so it is important that any evaluation process is conducted in as transparent and rigorous manner as possible.
