I’m sure by now you’ve heard that Prince Harry served his country in Aghanistan for ten weeks but what’s surprising is that journalists had a “media blackout” and they all agreed to not run the story. While journalists may be viewed in some markets (ahem, London) as tough, unscrupulous, and sometimes salacious (depending on the publication, of course) but, still…it’s commendable they put ethics first. Essentially, they adhered to the blackout and instead of scooping the story they remained silent.
While it was disappointing to hear the Druge Report broke the story which immediately sent Prince Harry home due to security reasons, kudos to the journalists in the U.K. for realizing the significance of his presence in Afghanistan and putting him and the country before their own individual agendas.
