At a press conference on June 2, 2016, then-newly elected President Rodrigo

him. Now, he lives up to his word. July 18, 2020 is perhaps the culmination of
that promise, as the dreaded

ICFJ’s 2018 Knight International Journalism Award Winner Maria Ressa is a
crusading editor and digital trailblazer in the Philippines. Her popular news
site has reported on the policies of President Rodrigo Duterte and his
government’s brutal war on drugs. As founder and executive editor of Rappler,
Ressa has been at the forefront of both investigative journalism and media
innovation. She is now fighting the government’s move to revoke Rappler’s
license and thus silence it on grounds that the site is owned by foreigners, a
charge Ressa calls ridiculous.
The government official also has a habit of pausing in the middle of press
briefings to 'compliment' female reporters.
It's time we call out reporters who are overly chummy with government officials,
who ride the wave of this administration's popularity at the cost of critical
and impartial reporting and commentary.
The intersection of media, technology and social change has brought profound
disruption to the business of news and storytelling.

The effects of COVID-19 are already being framed as an “extinction event” for
journalism, causing dozens of news outlets to collapse around the world. Tens of
thousands of newsroom jobs have been lost or reshaped by the pandemic. That’s
why ICFJ and the Tow Center have launched a global survey to track and assess
the impacts of the pandemic on journalism worldwide, and to help reimagine its
future.

The COVID-19 crisis has created manifold challenges and pressures for journalism
worldwide. Reporters are confronting significant personal risk to tell the

This session explores the crises of journalism and freedom
of expression globally in term of the quandary in which we find ourselves, faced
by religious and ideological extremism (e.g. Islamist extremism, White supremacy,
racism, etc.) on the one hand, and “national security” concerns and measures
(e.g. immigration, Trumpism, counter-terrorism, growing constraints on freedom
of expression) on the other.
In this context, the daily execution of journalism’s fundamental mandate,
speaking truth to power, is increasingly under sustained pressure. Media experts
from across the globe will discuss the crises – how it impacts the business,
modern storytelling, the impact on our audiences and the very ethics of our work
- and how we can navigate the future.

President Rodrigo Duterte had previously said that becoming a dictator would
dishonor his late mother, a prominent activist against the
Marcos regime.
AMID fears of looming autocrat rule under his watch, President Rodrigo Duterte
on Wednesday, February 7, admitted to imposing a "dictatorial" style of
governance.
Duterte said he prefers to act like a "dictator" to be able to sustain the
country's progress.
"If you say dictator, I am really a dictator. If I don't act (like a) dictator,
son of a b****, nothing will happen to this country," the President said in
Visayan.
"That's true. If I don't act (like a) dictator, which is my style now, nothing
