Rappler, in partnership with the Journalism for Nation Building Foundation (JNBF), highlights the outstanding investigative and in-depth stories produced by the graduates of the #FactsMatter and Aries Rufo Journalism Fellowships.
The Aries Rufo Journalism Fellowship was designed for community-based journalists across the country to further hone their craft, and was also extended to campus journalists in 2023.
The #FactsMatter fellowship, meanwhile, gives Southeast Asian journalists the opportunity to better understand digital media, their impact on conversations about critical issues, how these could be manipulated, and how this manipulation can be prevented.
Since it started in 2021, the Aries Rufo Journalism Fellowship has trained 22 fellows, while eight journalists have completed the #FactsMatter program. Both fellowships aim to equip participants with the tools necessary to tell impactful stories and combat disinformation, both locally and internationally.
Here are some of the investigative/in-depth stories produced by the fellows as part of the program:
