MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The much-awaited interview of Vice President and Presidential aspirant Leni Robredo by HardTalk’s Stephen Sackur has finally happened.
The Adobo Chronicles has an exclusive clip of the program that will be aired next week.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler, owned by Nobel Peace Prize awardee Maria Ressa, has been very consistent in local and international polls in as far as public trust is concerned.
It is the leading news media source in the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University. And now, is is also the leader in the 2021 3rd quarter poll.
That is — the leader as the most UNTRUSTED news media source.
Congratulations are in order!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – An Adobo Chronicles investigative team has uncovered an M.O. (Modus Operandi) or S.O.P. (Standard Operating Procedure) now in place at Rappler’s editorial offices. And it’s automated!
The procedure went into effect after former Senator Bongbong Marcos filed his certificate of candidacy for President in the Philippines’ 2022 Presidential elections.
Fact checkers, proofreaders, copy editors and the executive editor at Rappler have installed an electronic editing tool on their computers — much like a spell checker — where any report containing the name of Marcos will automatically be inserted with these descriptives:
-Dictator’s son
-“Jr.” after Marcos’ name
On the other hand, stories about Vice President Leni Robredo will automatically add these descriptives:
-Ina ng Bayan
-Leader of the Opposition
The automated editing tool will shield Rappler reporters, editors and CEO Maria Ressa from any potential cybel libel charges, since complainants cannot file cases against a machine or computer program.
Brilliant!
