MANILA, Philippines – It’s been five years since we launched Rappler’s membership program, Rappler+. We’ve been attacked, threatened with closure, and slapped with lawsuits. We’re still here because of you — and the steadfast support of our communities.
Newsrooms here and abroad have been through a bloodbath that’s caused by an information ecosystem that rewards lies and buries truth-tellers, and leaders who weaponize the law against citizens.
In today’s media world, it takes so much more to stay independent.
Rappler + has been one of our pillars for survival and growth. This premium membership program brings together a community of curious and passionate citizens who believe in the role of journalism in holding power to account and shaping a better world.
Rappler+ members get more access to the stories that matter and what shapes the newsroom: full access to exclusive content, members-only events, and a peek into how we work and navigate the future.
A Rappler+ member’s benefits include:
- Full access to exclusive content, newsletters, and reports
- Invites to members-only briefings and other Rappler events
- Access to an exclusive Rappler+ Rappler Communities channel where you can converse with fellow supporters and the Rappler team.
- An ad-free reading experience that also allows you to comment on our stories and listen to our articles.
Powering stories that matter to you
Perhaps there are other things for you to worry about that have little to do with the future of journalism. Taking it closer to home, you worry about your commute, housing, your community, or personal security.
We understand that. Which is why Rappler has always been committed to amplifying voices from underreported communities and writing about gut issues that matter to you.
More than this, we believe that civic engagement goes hand in hand with our fearless reporting. Which is why we’re engaged with communities and mobilization groups at the community level.
Help us continue doing what we do and power the kind of journalism that holds the line. Sign up for Rappler+. – Rappler.com
