I've chaired the Global Shining Light Awards jury for many years, but was particularly impressed with the quality and ambition of this year's finalists, especially at time when watchdog journalism is under siege. Congratulations to the finalists!

Impunity is the norm for the powerful in the #Philippines. Duterte’s arrest is a fluke. Yet it would not have been possible without years of difficult, dangerous, painstaking work.. even when hope for accountability seemed nonexistent.

The vigilante president has been arrested. He didn’t believe in due process but he’ll want it now.

One of the great things the US government has done for many years is provide a massive trove of reliable, useful information about the US economy that's publicly and freely accessible to anyone who wants to use it. Taking this stuff offline is an absolutely grotesque thing to do.

Is redemption possible for a death squad assassin who said he has killed so many he has lost count? Thanks, @rapplerdotcom for running my story on Edgar Matobato.

Part 1: 'In the beginning, I thought we were helping people by getting rid of the bad guys,' says Edgar Matobato. 'Later, we were told to kill innocent people.' https://t.co/L626YuRogt

@NicoleCurato Thank you for sharing!

Just as a clandestine ecosystem of death squads is deeply embedded in the underbelly of society, so is a parallel world of resistance—connected, rooted, and quietly defying the brokenness that surrounds them.
