I really enjoyed this memoir! The writing style was really accessible while still providing plenty detail particularly over the threats to freedom of press over the years. Her proximity to so many different actors across the world allowed for a really unique perspective into how she brought about coalitions for action! As a result there were lots of takeaways from the book around the work to be done to combat disinformation online. Overall, I finished this book feeling really inspired and hopeful that there is more we can do and keep fighting for.

Sometimes hard to follow because of the time jumps but I liked a lot of what Ressa had to say. It was interesting to learn about the Philippines government and Ressa’s fight for freedom of the press and journalist safety.

This book is such an important read. It offers so much information about the way social media and our current information system is used to manipulate us and sow hate through a beautifully told memoir of the author. It’s inspiring and makes you want to take on the work of protecting journalism, even if that may be too much work for you or not your field.
