MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Congratulations are in order for Rappler CEO Maria Ressa. Her news brand has now reached the Hall of Fame.

For the fourth straight year, Rappler was named the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines in the annual Digital News Report by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University.

But the Nobel Laureate is not happy about the recognition she has received. She is fighting back.

Commenting on the Reuters report, Ressa says the study puts journalists and independent outlets at risk. She says the research is flawed.

Well, Ressa can’t have it all. She has her flaws, and sour-graping won’t help her and Rappler hold the line.

The people have spoken. Year after year.
