Event Description

Maria Ressa is the co-founder of Rappler, the leading digital-only news outlet in the Philippines, known for its fearless reporting and its defense of press freedom. In awarding her the Nobel Peace Prize, the committee recognized her “efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace.” In this timely conversation, Ressa will shine a light on the breakdown of our global information ecosystem and explore how networks of engaged citizens can come together to defend democratic values and hold the line against disinformation and authoritarianism.
