Bulatlat.com is a donor-supported alternative news website in the Philippines. Reporters cover local and international news, with a human rights focus. Bulatlat also covers alternative media developments, such as the launch of Radyo Sagada, a new community radio station. The Philippines remains one of the most dangerous countries in the world to do journalism, and radio journalists have been particularly targeted in recent years. In such an environment, it takes serious commitment for ordinary citizens and professional journalists alike to stand up and deliver the news. But they’re doing it nonetheless.
