Web exclusive interview with renowned Filipino journalist Maria Ressa, who is speaking out against Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte for his attacks on the free press and his assault on the people of the Philippines. Duterte has repeatedly targeted Ressa and her acclaimed news site Rappler for reporting on his deadly “war on drugs.” Last week, the Filipino government indicted Ressa for tax evasion in what is widely seen as the government’s latest attack on the website. We speak with Maria Ressa in New York City. She has received the 2018 Knight International Journalism Award and the Committee to Protect Journalists 2018 Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award. |
