Rappler (portmanteau of the words "rap" and "ripple")[3] is a Filipino online news website based in Pasig, Metro Manila, the Philippines. It was founded by 2021 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa along with a group of fellow Filipino journalists as well as technopreneurs. It started as a Facebook page named MovePH in August 2011[4] and evolved into a website on January 1, 2012.[5]
In 2018, agencies under the Philippine government initiated legal proceedings against Rappler.[6] Rappler and its staff alleged it was being targeted for its revelations of corruption by government and elected officials, the usage of bots and trolls favoring Rodrigo Duterte's administration,[7] and documenting the Philippine drug war.[8][9]
In October 2021, Rappler co-founder Ressa, alongside Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for safeguarding freedom of expression in their homelands.[10]
