Tickets to the public forum are free, but seats are limited. Register now!

MANILA, Philippines – To bridge the online gap, Rappler’s MovePH will hold #MoveLeyte: “Social Good in the Digital Age” forum at the RDE Hall in the Visayas State University on September 19.

The rise of digital technology has allowed all of us to publish our own content and choose what content matters to us.

While this gave ordinary citizens a voice in the global conversation, the gatekeeping powers of traditional media is being compromised, significantly changing the journalism process. It has also resulted in the rise of fake accounts, hate groups, and disinformation.

Read Rappler’s propaganda war series:

How do we use social media for social good? This is the primary question the forum intends to answer.

At least 500 campus journalists, student organization leaders, school paper advisers, and other stakeholders will join the forum which will help them understand the nature of digital platforms and spark a conversation around opportunities and threats to journalism and democracy in these trying times.

Tickets to the forum are free, but seats are limited. Register below to secure your tickets now.
