Maria Ressa wins UN press prize
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE winners Dmitry Muratov and Maria Ressa attend the news conference a day before the awarding ceremony, at the Nobel Institute in Oslo, Norway, on December 9, 2021.
“They are representatives of all journalists who stand up for this ideal in a world in which democracy and freedom of the press face increasingly adverse conditions,” she said.

In 2012, Ressa, 58, co-founded Rappler, a digital media company for investigative journalism, which she still heads.
Rappler has “focused critical attention on the Duterte regime’s controversial, murderous anti-drug campaign,” Reiss-Andersen said.
