Our four panelists know what it’s like to be a journalist in a time when communities are targeted and oppressed. 
Nataliya has been covering Russia’s war against Ukraine, and through the Public Interest Journalism Lab and The Reckoning Project, has actively worked with Ukrainian communities and lawyers to document human rights violations by the Russian military in a manner that can be used in international court, for accountability. Patricia covered former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody campaign against illegal drugs, which included extrajudicial killings of alleged drug addicts and dealers. She told the story of drug war victims, their families, and even the paid assassins themselves to show how one man’s “war” was waged against a nation’s people, and its systems of due process. Priscilla helms a foundation that has supported local newsrooms in the United States during the era of Donald Trump, a president who has threatened journalists, and cut funding from public journalism. Trump’s policies have thrown communities in turmoil and given rise to polarization and sharply divisive politics. At no time has local journalism been more necessary. Inday, an investigative journalist hailing from Bacolod City, has had decades of experience reporting on red-tagged communities, and warlordism and patronage politics in different parts of the Philippines. At Rappler, she had headed the regional reporting team, giving a platform for issues beyond the country’s capital that deserve news coverage and attention. Her work leading ABS-CBN’s participatory journalism initiative Bayan Mo iPatrol Mo gave her unique insight into citizen engagement in the Philippines’ colorful and complicated political and media landscape. As moderator, Ranada will weave these perspectives together and bring her own experience leading Rappler’s community growth and engagement efforts, and her time as a political reporter during the Duterte administration.
