Howie Severino: Evidence, transparency, accountablity that journalists seek is no longer high as virtue among people who consumer news. Instead it is loyalty to a person or ideology. howie severino #JournAsPublicGood #ACFJForum

John Nery on Yvonne Chua’s point that Fllipino journalists don’t explain what they do, don’t explain to the public. Is it a 1980s thing? #JournAsPublicGood #ACFJForum

Yvonne Chua: Journalists equipped with skills to make sense of information, provide context. Ability to do deep investigations. Would like journalists to stay the course. #JournAsPublicGood #ACFJForum

Howie on citizen journalism: Journos can’t be everywhere. CJ is service for communities. CJs sometime get videos more dramatic videos than journalists can. Spread the gospel about integrity of information. Journalists should pass on skills. howie severino #ACFJForum

Howie Severino: Freedom in general ebbs and flows, can’t separate it from other freedoms. We can talk in this forum. So press freedom is alive and well, but critics have been jailed, these are obstacles to our work. But they can’t jail all of us. howie severino @jnery_newsstan

Yvonne Chua: Democracy and press freedom are on the decline, but looking back we have lost our freedoms and regained them. We do not let our freedoms get eroded. John Nery howie severino #JournAsPublicGood #ACFJForum

John Nery: We shouldn’t think of press freedom in terms of collapse but of decay; conditions of press freedom are being eroded. Important to hold forums like this to hold each other to account, and hold each other in these trying times. John Nery #ACFJForum
