Podcast: #10: Seeking the Truth: Justice for Journalists in the Philippines
"With great power comes great responsibility," Uncle Ben
once told his nephew Spiderman. Like the famous Peter Parker,
journalists in the Philippines must also understand this mantra when
they tackle certain aspects of news — particularly politics. The country
has developed a dubious reputation for its culture of impunity,
preventing the carrying-out of justice in cases like the 2009
Maguindinao Massacre. On 23 November, 58 people were gunned down; at
least 34 of them were journalists.
