The leaders of a community are concerned that people’s health might be at risk from mosquito-borne illnesses. the mayor asks denise, the city’s health director, to prepare a presentation for a community forum. which media source would provide the most credibility for denise’s presentation? a a state health department video about mosquito-borne illness produced by the state’s health department b a local news segment in which a television anchor explains mosquito-borne illnesses c a commercial produced by a company that has developed a special mosquito spray d a podcast in which the mayor explains why mosquito-borne illnesses are a problem

The correct answer is: A, a state health department video about mosquito-borne illness produced by the state’s health department.

Indeed, the major is supposed to provide reliable, unbiased, relevant and credible information about a matter of public health. A local news segment from a television anchor might fulfill these requirements or not depending on the editorial policy of the media outlet. However, he would only be relaying information since the anchor is definitely not an expert in this field.  

A pharmaceutical company will inevitably depict the issue as a health crisis in order to sell as many of its mosquito sprays as possible, without even proving their actual effectiveness and safety. A podcast presents the same issues as the local news segment. Only the health department video, which is supposed to be produced by healthcare professionals from the government, has the necessary credibility.
