(OPINION) Up for a brief journalism quiz? Of course you are — or so I will assume. Let’s begin.
Name a news outlet that publishes separate English-language additions for the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe, while also offering its product in 21 other languages spoken around the globe. That’s even more than offered by Reuters, the most widely translated international wire service, which offers 16.
Need more hints? OK.
This mystery outlet is run by a faith group that claims tens of thousands of adherents in more than 70 nations. The group burst onto the scene in the late 20th century and for years now has been harshly persecuted by its homeland’s ruthlessly authoritarian government.
Additionally, this same faith group sponsors a traveling cultural dance extravaganza (no peeking until the quiz is over, please) that, until the coronavirus epidemic largely shut down live performances, advertised widely on American television and at local malls.
Still in the dark?
Its motto is “Truth and Tradition” and, as of this writing (this past Monday) it’s declined to join the preponderance of other news media — including Fox, heretofore among the staunchest of pro-Trump media platforms — that have called former Vice President Joseph Biden the 2020 presidential election winner.
As of this date, our mystery news source has even declined to place Michigan or Wisconsin in the Biden win column — not to mention Pennsylvania, Arizona or Nevada — maintaining that it will not do so until all of President Donald Trump’s legal ballot challenges have been resolved.
Have you guessed the platform in question?
Continued below.
Pay attention to this growing force of a news source—popularized by followers of Trump media.
