Abstract

Commentary: Rappler is the only journalist-owned and journalist-led media company in the Philippines. In the aftermath of chief executive Maria Ressa’s 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, this keynote address at the Asian Congress for Media and Communication (ACMC) outlines how the independent media group has harnessed social media and pressured Facebook and the tech giants that control the global information highway to do better and to give facts premium over profits. The address argues that the only way media can regain public trust in journalism is to regain their rightful space in the public sphere. This will not be able to be achieved in an environment where algorithms make value judgments for the public and where readers are served only information that they want or enjoy. Without journalists who will tell it like it is no matter the consequences, the future will continue to be one of alternate facts and manipulated opinions. 
守住底线:拉普勒、脸书、杜特尔特以及为真相和公众信任而战
评论:Rappler是菲律宾唯一一家由记者拥有和领导的媒体公司。在首席执行官玛丽亚·雷萨(Maria Ressa)获得2021年诺贝尔和平奖之后,在亚洲媒体与传播大会(ACMC)上的主题演讲概述了这家独立媒体集团如何利用社交媒体,向Facebook和控制全球信息高速公路的科技巨头施压,要求他们做得更好,把事实看得比利润更重要。他认为,媒体要想重新获得公众对新闻业的信任,唯一的办法就是在公共领域重新获得应有的空间。在一个算法为公众做出价值判断、只向读者提供他们想要或喜欢的信息的环境中,这是不可能实现的。如果没有不计后果地如实报道的记者,未来将继续是交替的事实和被操纵的观点。

期刊介绍: While one objective of Pacific Journalism Review is research into Pacific journalism theory and practice, the journal has also expanding its interest into new areas of research and inquiry that reflect the broader impact of contemporary media practice and education. A particular focus is on the cultural politics of the media, including the following issues: new media and social movements, indigenous cultures in the age of globalisation, the politics of tourism and development, the role of the media and the formation of national identity and the cultural influence of New Zealand as a branch of the global economy within the Pacific region. It also has a special interest in climate change, environmental and development studies in the media and communication and vernacular media in the region.
