The Philippine Press Institute also known as the national association of newspapers and online publications in the country, comes stronger than ever as it celebrates a milestone of trailblazing initiatives for its print members, riding high on its overarching mantra, “building better communities”.
“It’s bigger this year owing to PPI’s diamond year, being the oldest media organization in the country for print since 1964,” PPI executive director Ariel Sebellino said. He added that PPI has come a long way since its comeback in 1987 having been declared moribund during Martial Law years. The shift to digital media in how information is produced, consumed and distributed, according to PPI chairman-president Rolando Estabillo, has posed significant threats to the traditional press. “At present, our advocacy group finds itself confronting new challenges and opportunities in the ever-evolving media landscape.
Training the spotlight on the creation of Media-Citizen Councils, the PPI has also partnered with the International Media Support to stress the importance of media accountability and self-regulation under the framework of the Philippine Plan of Action for the Safety of Journalists . To date, there are nine Media-Citizen Councils which will be given focus in the forum.
