Rappler

Philippine independent, pro-democracy left-of-center

Rappler is a Philippine digital news outlet founded in 2012 and led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa. It operates independently of government or corporate conglomerate control, with backing from pro-press-freedom investment funds. Its journalism consistently emphasizes democratic accountability, human rights, and disinformation exposure, placing it at critical distance from authoritarian or strongman governance — including coverage skeptical of the Trump administration's democratic norms record.

Owned byRappler Holdings Corporation, a Philippine company co-founded by Maria Ressa and other veteran journalists; foreign investors (Omidyar Network, North Base Media, Media Development Investment Fund) hold Philippine Depositary Receipts, which carry no voting rights or board seats under Philippine law
