Government credibility refers to the reliability and credibility of the government itself. It is the public's evaluation and trust in the performance of its duties by the government. From a global perspective, strengthening the government’s credibility building and enhancing the government’s ability to govern can steadily advance various reforms. With the development of network technology, we have entered a new era, with all kinds of new media rising rapidly. The new media has changed the public's thinking and life, and it also affects how the government governs and how it interacts with the public. The frequent communication between the public and the government has improved administrative efficiency to a certain extent, and promoted the democratization process and the development of reforms in various countries. However, due to the fragmented dissemination of network information, the dissemination of false information, and the difficulty of public opinion to control, there are more or less problems in the government's credibility building in many countries. This paper studies the problems and causes of government credibility construction in the Internet age, and then proposes relevant countermeasures in order to continuously improve the government credibility of governments around the world.
