Journalist Maria Ressa wrote a book called “How to Stand up to a Dictator” last year and won a Nobel Peace Prize for her courageous work at Rappler reporting on authoritarian regimes in the Philippines.
Speaking at the East-West Center’s international media conference in July, Ressa talked about another challenging task: standing up for herself and her newsroom when online trolls attack them on platforms such as Twitter, where Ressa has more than 500,000 followers and where the Rappler has 3.6 million.
