Journalism and Activism in the Philippines during Martial Law with Mark John Sanchez

Starting our "Laban Group Podcast" series, Dr. Robyn Magalit Rodriguez is joined by Assistant Professor of Asian Studies, Mark John Sanchez, to discuss the role of journalism and activism in the Philippines during the era of Martial Law. This episode highlights how the media and activists navigated the repressive environment of the Marcos dictatorship, and also discusses how folks participated in transnational spaces.
