<em>Credentialism</em> is a process in which the demand for formal qualifications in individuals grows. As a result, the benefit of differentiation that a person can get as a product of obtaining certain qualification is reduced.

This occurs in the case presented as all the media sources created a simplified version that can be understood by the general public rather than all the information and statistical data that would be too much to process for the public and too difficult for those without an academical background. Therefore in this case gatekeeping is occurring as information is reduced because it was going to be published for a broad audience.
