Talk:Maria Ressa

message: Removed Trivia item about the source of Ms. Ressa's Tagalog skills. Contradicts biography information immediately above. It's misleading to say Ms. Ressa "grew up" in the United States; she speaks Tagalog largely because she spent the first nine years of her life in Manila and studied/practiced Tagalog diligently upon her return from the U.S. about 13 years later. she is the best women i have ever hered about — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.177.66 (talk) 18:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: It is a common contention among well-known Duterte supporters that Ressa is a lesbian. Is it common enough that we need to mention it? I don't want us to seem biased, so I want other editors to comment.
Here are some sources:
* 
::
* Tiglao translated this article into Tagalog as well:
::
* 
::
::The word used was , it's swardspeak. See . (I know I don't have to explain this to native speakers, but just in case other Wikipedians are interested.)
Here is a possible way we could mention it:
Supporters of Duterte, such as writer Rigoberto Tiglao, have repeatedly repeated rumors that Ressa is a lesbian.
Thoughts? I don't know if this warrants inclusion at all. Is it WP:TOOSOON or should this never be included? Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please always ping! 21:12, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it needs to be included at all. It is not common knowledge among Filipinos (and certainly not to anyone who is not Filipino), and it does not seem to be relevant to anything in the article at all. If this were to be mentioned in this article, I suspect many more pages about Filipinos will have to be revised to include similar references to their love lives, whether gay or straight, because that's a very common way to try and undermine someone's credibility when there's nothing else to say. von (talk) 15:26, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should be mentioned if the sources are reliable, because an article of this length should really have some information about her personal life. However, I don't think the wording should include phrases like 'allegations', as this is pejorative and Western readers are mostly okay with people being lesbian these days.Newzild (talk) 05:22, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  The problem with this is, that's simply not true in the Philippines. We're not writing about an American journalist working out of New York. We're writing about a FilAm journalist working out of Manila. Red-tagging is very common in the Philippines, and although less common, queer-tagging is still a problem. If Ressa really is a lesbian, there are reasons she would not want that stated as a fact. Gay marriage is not legal in the Philippines, discrimination against LGBT is allowed, and it can be very damaging to someone to spread gossip that they're queer. Wikipedian sensibilities by and large might be rightly offended at that, but we need to keep this in mind. Unless she comes out of the closet herself, we should not state for a fact that she's a lesbian, no matter how many good reasons we may have to believe it. Right now I'd say all we really have is some rumors from Rigoberto Tiglao, who is, yes, writing in a reliable source, and who, yes, is often a good WP:RSOPINION, but it's just not enough.

replies: text: Okay, but we should still be addressing her personal life. Should we say that she's been accused of lesbianism?
The private life of this person is just that, private, it has no relevance to her work.2A02:C7E:1CC3:8A00:308C:3C2D:2AD7:9476 (talk) 13:50, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

text: Unless there are multiple reliable sources that have published these suspicions, they should be omitted from the article per WP:BLPPUBLIC. Edge3 (talk) 02:44, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Ms Ressa's sexual orientation does not signify. In the biographies of other journalists, do you make a point of saying something like "Rachel Maddow is a lesbian"? No, we merely listed the name of her partner and when they met, along with several sources. If there are reliable sources that say Ms Ressa sees So-and-So or is partnered with So-and-So or married So-and-So on this day, then why would you even consider entering a rumor? And if no reliable sources say any such thing, then drop it: Biographies of Living Persons and all. You have to realize that the Philippine administration hates her and will do anything to defame her in the eyes of that very Catholic country.

replies: text: Later that same night - However, since Ms Ressa was named one of Time magazine's "Person of the Year: The Guardians of Journalism" in 2018, it might be interesting to state that one of her legal team, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, was named Time's Woman of the Year for 2022. Perhaps in a footnote? Thank you again, Wordreader (talk) 04:01, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The very next day - My mistake. My printed copy of Time arrived today. Ms Clooney is not "The Woman of the Year", but one of several "2022 Women of the Year" honorees. She was interviewed by Maria Ressa. I apologize for my error above. Time, March 14 / March 21, 2022 (a double issue), pages 8 and 66-69. Thank you again, Wordreader (talk) 03:02, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

message: Only one of the cited sources (a blog post) state that she studied molecular biology at Princeton.  This appears to be a misunderstanding of another referenced newspaper article that stated that "But, perhaps, they expected as much from a daughter who chose an English Literature major over a pre-med course in Molecular Biology."  There appears to be no other source that state that she studied molecular biology.  Princeton University itself in its website states that she graduated with a bachelor of arts in English and a certificate in theater and dance as is already stated in the wikipedia page.

thread_title:  Maria Ressa does not appear to have studied Molecular Biology as stated in the article 

message: It would be long-winded to include every personal appearance of Ms Ressa and even more so for every print, TV, and radio appearance. However, if any readers here are interested, she recently appeared on The Problem with Jon Stewart, episode 2: "COVID-19 Restrictions". (Note that the name entered on the WP article appears as "Freedom" and is likely wrong). The topics were public health, democracy, and dictators. Bassem Youssef and Francisco Marquez Lara also appeared. Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 07:58, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
