Maria Ressa, the founder and chief executive of Rappler in the Philippines who jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, has been named as a contributing writer at The Atlantic.
The journalist, who has been under attack from her government and been arrested ten times over a two-year period, will write about democracy, press freedom, and the social web.
Editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, executive editor Adrienne LaFrance, and editorial director Denise Wills said in a note to staff: “We are exceedingly grateful for all that Maria has done for the cause of independent journalism, and we’re honored to be able to provide a home for some of her best writing.”
