Hostile officials, fake media dampen revival of community press in Rizal

BRABO News founding editor Nep Castillo said officials didn’t appreciate community journalism. Until now, local reporters are not allowed to approach Governor Nina Ynares at events nor to visit her office. The provincial leaders’ disregard of local journalists has emboldened some mayors to seek to control what the journalists publish.

Cruz said PIOs he know think that their job is to be the LGU’s mouthpiece, and in the course, deprive the public and media of information on issues that concern the community. And because the bogus reporters tarnish the image of professionals, local officials, in turn, question the necessity of dealing with legitimate journalists.Still, local journalists – few that they are – are hopeful that community journalism in Rizal will not lose the momentum and thrive in time.
