Abstract
Facing a shutdown of her online news outlet, Nobel laureate Maria Ressa calls for journalists to band together to fight an online information ecosystem ‘built on lies laced with hate.’ Quick take:
- Speaking at the East-West Center’s 2022 International Media Conference, Ressa vowed to resist a new government order to shut down her news site Rappler.
- Social media platforms’ business models “reward anger and hate,” she said, leading to a frightening global rise in authoritarianism.
- The only way for independent journalists to counter this, according to Ressa, is to work together on fighting malicious falsehoods.
