Acclaimed Philippines journalist Maria Ressa speaks on "Press Freedom Under Fire" in a virtual  East-West Center Chaplin Fellowship in Distinguished Journalism address. An East-West Center Media Programs alum and 2018 Time Magazine Person of the Year honoree, Ressa is currently free on appeal after recently being convicted of unprecedented "cyber libel" charges that supporters around the globe allege were fabricated as retribution for her unflinching coverage of Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte and his bloody drug war.
