Radical Collaboration: Why It’s the Antidote to Big Tech • Maria Ressa

In this masterclass video, Maria Ressa, co-founder of Rappler and 2021 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, shares practical insights on how journalists can respond to the growing power of Big Tech and the erosion of the information ecosystem.

Ressa argues that the most powerful response is radical collaboration: building alliances between journalists, technologists, and communities to defend facts and democratic accountability. She encourages reporters to work collectively rather than competitively, strengthen relationships with their audiences, and develop new ways to distribute journalism outside of platforms that manipulate information flows.
