A surprise winner from a rarely heard source, The Queen of England. Monday morning, Queen Elizabeth released a statement in support of journalists:
The pandemic “has once again demonstrated what an important public service the established news media provides… Having trusted, reliable sources of information, particularly at a time when there are so many sources competing for our attention, is vital.”
Reuters writes:
“At a time when established newspapers and television channels are routinely vilified and accused of producing “fake news” by U.S. President Donald Trump and other world leaders, the 94-year-old monarch’s message was a rare tribute.”
