Reliable Sources is an American news media analysis talk program on CNN.

Hosted by Howard Kurtz, the program reviews the coverage of the news stories of the past week by the media, in addition to news about the news media behind the scenes, all with a constantly changing group of online, print, and broadcast journalists. The show also features some one-on-one interviews with journalists taking part in a news event or covering a story, such as interviewing Bob Woodruff after his return to ABC News in February 2007 after his severe injuries in Iraq on January 29, 2006.

Broadcasting since 1992, the program was initially formed to cover the media's coverage of the Persian Gulf War, but has sense also covered the media's coverage of the Valerie Plame affair, the War in Iraq, the outing Deep Throat, and many other events and internal media stories.

The same genre as Fox News Watch on Fox News Channel, the show differs in that the discussions on the program are commonly very calm and content, compared to the heated debates that occur between panelists on FNW, in addition to the panel of reporters discussing the stories changes on a regular basis.
