Reuters Retracts Award for Palestinian over Pro-Hitler Comments
(Jerusalem Post) The Thomson Reuters Foundation has rescinded its award in international journalism to Palestinian freelance journalist Shatha Hammad after discovering social media posts in which she praised Adolf Hitler. Media watchdog HonestReporting found that in 2014, Hammad posted a comment on Facebook that said, "Me and Hitler are friends. We...share the same ideology, such as the extermination of the Jews." HonestReporting CEO Jacki Alexander said, "This is about relegating unrepentant antisemites to the fringes of society and not rewarding them with international recognition."
