SUMMARY: On June 15th, a court in the Philippines convicted one of the country’s most prominent journalists, Maria Ressa, of Cyberlibel. Advocates for press freedom quickly called the trial unfair, arguing it is part of a larger crackdown by Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte on his political opponents and media critical of him. Nick Schifrin talks to Ressa about an “ominous” global trend toward reporters.
Gee, sounds like something Trump would like to do.
