The regular paper publications sector has implemented significant business model transformations to embrace digitalization, with the press being the most affected of all. This has contributed not only to the migration of traditional mastheads to a digital format, in search of a hybridization process, but also to the development of new digital brands. In these circumstances, credibility emerges as a critical factor to consider when selecting sources of information. Along these lines and with regards to the online press, two research objectives arise: to analyze which factors can influence, and which factors are influenced by, the credibility of an online masthead. The methodology used in this study is based on quantitative research using surveys conducted with university students and structural equation modeling. The main conclusions demonstrate that coverage is the main variable in terms of generating credibility and that this also contributes to reader perception regarding greater confidence, accuracy, and sympathy. Resumen En el sector de las publicaciones periódicas en papel, donde la prensa ha sido la más afectada, la digitalización ha generado importantes transformaciones en sus modelos de negocio, lo que ha propiciado, por un lado, la migración digital de las cabeceras tradicionales en la búsqueda inicial de una hibridación y, por otro, la incorporación de nuevas cabeceras nativas digitales. Ante esta situación la credibilidad se erige como un factor relevante en el momento de seleccionar cabeceras para informarse. En este sentido, en lo que a prensa online se refiere, se plantean dos objetivos: analizar qué factores influyen y sobre cuáles incide la credibilidad de una cabecera online. La metodología se fundamenta en una investigación cuantitativa, basada en la realización de encuestas a jóvenes universitarios y el empleo de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Las conclusiones evidencian que la cobertura es la principal variable en la generación de credibilidad y ésta a su vez contribuye a la percepción en el lector de una mayor confianza, precisión y simpatía
