janiswong 's review for:
How to Stand Up to a Dictator
by Maria Ressa
informative
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
A stunning memoir from Ressa. I knew of the Nobel Laureate's work but not much of her background and history. I loved how the book was written - the interweaving of personal stories and emotions along with beautiful but also difficult moments in Ressa's personal and professional life. I didn't realise how extensive her work and research was regarding journalism and technology. Inspiring and with searing clarity, Ressa highlights the importance of a free press for our democracies.
