An emotional Ressa says this is vindication of Rappler which stood tax evasion trial for 4 years when it won an award for being best tax payer. "Today facts win, truth wins, justice wins," says Ressa, calling for freedom for all other jailed journalists like Frenchie Mae Cumpio.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. should end his government's opposition to @MariaRessa’s appeal against her conviction on spurious criminal cyber libel charges, which were pursued and prosecuted by the State #HoldTheLine buff.ly/3g0ucvA

We strongly urge the Philippine government to reverse the decision to shut down @rapplerdotcom, a pioneering digital news outlet that has become one of the only sources of independent news amid a crackdown on #pressfreedom. axios.com/2022/06/28/maria-r… 1/

Now is the time to step up and support and defend @mariaressa and @rapplerdotcom - this is an unjustified, political attack on press freedom. Maria has done so much for journalism: we must now fight this censorship and ensure Rappler can continue its vital reporting #HoldTheLine
Rappler, the Philippine news site headed by our co-chairperson @mariaressa has been ordered to shut down. It is a dismaying decision that portends yet worse for press freedom in the country.

Pleased to be speaking with Sheri Berman, @SuzanneNossel & @hanskundnani today at #CHLondon about renewing democracy.
I believe there are bright spots: new research commissioned by @luminategroup showed greater enthusiasm for democracy than expected.

Fantastically encouraging.
@FundFreeMedia is one of the most important initiatives to actually DO something about media sustainability, and @Sheetal_Vyas99, Amélie Baudot, @ColinCrowell, @khadijapatel, @JamesMDeane, @judeauxp, & @nishantlalwani have done a great job launching it
BIG NEWS FOR MEDIA: Speaking at @unesco #WorldPressFreedomConference in Uruguay, @Sheetal_Vyas99, has just announced that we will launch our inaugural round of funding through an open call in 17 countries - commencing tomorrow!

With the right help from the rest of world, Burma has every chance to become not only a federal democracy but a peaceful, prosperous, and multicultural society. Country is at an historic inflection and there is absolutely no going back.

Independent journalists in the Philippines are being sent a chilling message: You are only safe in silence.
@mariaressa knows this better than anyone. Join us and help her #HoldTheLine.

In spite of the barrage of online attacks she's received, @mariaressa is unrelenting in her fight for press freedom. @icfj's new study found these attacks were designed to undermine her professional credibility and public trust in her journalism. icfj.org/our-work/maria-ress… #IWD2021

Excited to launch a new website for my forthcoming book today.
Learn more about the book (and the author), read (and listen to) a sample chapter, and register for updates. If you're into #purpose and #meaning, this could be the book for you.

Really important article to read on the current situation in Myanmar - The Civil Disobedience Movement must define clear goals, set sustainable strategies and ditch any illusions of foreign intervention if it’s to win its tug-of-war with the Tatmadaw.frontiermyanmar.net/en/how-t…

Inexcusable killing and wounding of unarmed protestors by security forces using automatic weapons, in Yangon and across Myanmar today, with every possibility of escalating violence against civilians over the coming few days.
