38 - Thoughts on the ABS-CBN Shutdown (A POP!corn Special Coverage)

POP!corn presents a special coverage as we discuss the ABS-CBN shutdown, its implications on press freedom, how media literacy forms opinions on political matters, and more issues surrounding politics, democracy, journalism and media.

We stand in solidarity with our ABS-CBN Kapamilya, and all those affected by this violation of our freedom of speech and the public's right to information. The country is in a vulnerable state as we face this global pandemic, and we call for good governance for the sake of our nation. #NoToABSCBNShutdown #DefendPressFreedom #MalayangPamamahayag

Joining this week's special panel are Rambo Talabong (@ramboreports) from Rappler, Regine Cabato (@RegineCabato) from The Washington Post, Paula Molina, and Erika Villa-Ignacio.
