Online Ethos: Source Credibility in an Authorless Environment Presented at the Association of Internet Researchers Conference, Toronto, Ontario, October 2003 Barbara Warnick University of Washington barbwarn@u.washington.edu Imagine a society where the most frequent occasion for speaking and delivering messages to audiences is in the court system.
