As Women’s Month comes to a close, the podcast has a special guest: Sheila Coronel, investigative journalist & former academic dean of Columbia Journalism School. 

Sheila co-founded the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism in 1989 and began her career on the cusp of Ferdinand Marcos’ ouster. She often highlights the power of the media to make the powerful accountable and the importance of the press in a democracy.

In this interview, Sheila reminds us that despite the vilification of journalists and the scourge of disinformation, now is the best time to be a journalist.
