Annenberg Lecture 2022: Maria Ressa, "What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?"

On November 6, 2022, author, journalist, freedom-fighter, and 2021 Nobel Peace Prize-Winner Maria Ressa delivered the Annenberg Lecture, "What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?" It includes introductions from Annenberg School for Communication Dean John L. Jackson, Jr. and University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill.
The annual Annenberg Lecture brings to Penn leaders in academia, politics, public policy, or the media. It combines two previous lectures, the Walter and Leonore Distinguished Lecture in Communication, which started in 1992, and the Leonore Annenberg Lecture in Public Service and Global Understanding, which began in 2006. Both series, and the subsequent single lecture, honor Ambassador and Mrs. Annenberg, without whose vision and support the Annenberg School and Annenberg Public Policy Center - the event's sponsors - would not exist.

Facts...Truth...Trust... Maria Ressa is one of the few journalists worth listening to...

[@EZ-STEM]

Facts? Truth? Trust? She is an epitome of fake news without accountability! Give her all the awards but she is still a foreign criminal in our country for she has no Filipino blood, that's why she is destroying our elected officials. A cybercriminal is always a criminal whether she has all these awards.

[@mrv_charm]

I certainly agree!

[@whitephoenix1513]

I need to get hold of her book "How to stand up to a dictator". We should all listen and stand up and hold our ground against false narratives and digital lies.

Her conviction would not stand-up in an American Court. And there are no Libel crimes in America. Only Defamation can go to court, and that is a Civil Tort, not a Felony Trial. And in an American Defamation Lawsuit the Defamed must prove Reputational Damage from a False Claim. In the Philippines Libel is prosecuted, EVEN IF THE ACCUSATION IS TRUE!

[@zachdwight1385]

If she's convicted then why is she not in prison?

[@Ryan_Christopher]

@@zachdwight1385 Because the Conviction is up on Appeal and in the Philippines there is no Sentencing until all Appeals have been Exhausted. Former First Lady Imelda Marcos (mother of the current President) has likewise been Convicted of Graft but is still out and about - because she Appealed too. She’s likely to remain free until she dies, that’s how slow the Philippine Justice System is.
