This World Press Freedom Day, independent newsrooms across ASEAN are standing together.

Big Tech is tightening its grip, using AI and algorithms that amplify disinformation, bury facts, and profit from the very journalism they’re eroding. They build smarter machines on journalists’ work, all while weakening the systems that verify facts.

We’re calling on newsrooms, communities, and civic leaders to choose radical collaboration.

Because only by standing together can we take back the internet — for the truth, for the people, and for the future.
