Renowned investigative journalist Sheila Coronel, the director of the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism at Columbia University, joins Roby Alampay and Jaemark Tordecilla in breaking down the threats facing media, academia, and free speech today.

Sheila talks about the hidden power of archives to shape history, the lessons from martial law, and why journalists must keep recording the truth, even when red lines are unclear. From disinformation and trolling to censorship and the rise of so-called “woke culture” wars, this conversation unpacks how democracy is tested and how it can fight back.

Listen to this deep dive on press freedom, accountability, and why telling small local stories can still have a big impact.
