What is community journalism and why should it matter to you?

Teka Teka

About this episode

Not all stories make it to the news. But when it comes to the marginalized, community journalists make it their job to ensure that they are represented by the media. 


We celebrate World Press Freedom Day this month, and in this episode, highlight the realities faced by community journalists: red-tagging, harassment, imprisonment, and even violence. 


Avon Ang of Altermidya talks to us about the cases of RJ Ledesma and Frenchie Mae Cumpio, the dangers of immersion reporting, and community journalists’ role in defending the truth and the public’s right to know.
