Ezra Acayan: Media is basically reposting lang from Bong Go!

@eacayan

Dana Batnag: If you repost lang, you are missing giving context.

@danabatnag

Caloy Conde: Question to the group. What's the way forward here?

@carloshconde

Jun Sepe: Bring it back the way it used to be. Live coverage. That's the golden standard. Demand -- If you do not allow us to do live coverages, we will not report. We slowly regressed to this situation. Nagiging lazy na ang media. Nag rerely na lang sa handout.

@junsepe

Jun Sepe: Mag-ingay tayo. Kung di sila makinig, wala tayong ibang magagawa. Marami pang ibang story.

@junsepe

Dana Batnag: Unti unti nawalan ng access ang photojournalists sa Malacanang. Sino pa ba ang sources ng Malacanang Press Corps? Ang ginawa ni Bong Go jan, ginawa nyang sya na lang ang nag-iisang source.

@danabatnag

Dana Batnag: Media ang nagsusuffer kasi taga publish ka nalang ng press release.

@danabatnag

Inday Espina Varona: I understand yung hirap for photojournalists. But I have seen a great improvement in written media.

@indayevarona

Luz Rimban: Etong si Bong Go as a source, everyone should have a consensus "Ano ba, sa susunod ba gagamitin pa ba natin ang mga pictures nya?"

There should be a partnership between the photographer, the writer and the desk. You have to inform us.

@lrimban

Jun Sepe: The media using the stuff coming from Bong Go is informative but what is missing is contextualizing. The question I'm trying to ask, are we gonna stop reporting using Bong Go as a source given his proximity to the President?

@junsepe

Luz Rimban: Sure he is close to the President and he is the source but is he giving us the truth? We should be questioning that.

@lrimban

Jes Aznar: Nagmumukha na tayong tamad sa trabaho natin. Kelangan natin i-acknowledge ang circumstances, it has changed. The freedom to cover has changed.

Striking change: Di na natin control ang coverage. The government has control of the narrative.

@jesaznar

Jes Aznar: Pano tayo mag-aadapt how to do our jobs?

@jesaznar

Caloy Conde: From killings, cases, COVID -- all angles, inaatake ang mga journalists. We are all under assault. Lahat ng pupuntahan mo para sa tulong at intellectual ayuda, inaatake. Hindi lang to dahil tinatamad.

@carloshconde

Jes Aznar: People remember images. It's a form of communication. Since we are communicators, we should push everyone in the newsroom to be more educated on ethics and standards.

@jesaznar

Ezra Acayan: Bumaba ang tingin sa photos at photojournalism dahil lahat na pwede kumuha.

@eacayan

Romel Bagares: The govt has been very good in simulations. Bong Go is very successful in doing that. Imagine no one was able to pin down the truth of if the President was in Singapore. We need good reportage.

@dooyeweerdian

Jason Gutierrez: Tayo ang guardians of the day.

@newshound16

Dana Batnag: We need to interrogate the pictures as much as we interrogate the text. Pictures can be fact checked given the available technologies. No excuse.

@danabatnag

Inday Espina Varona: The diff in journalism is the word "vet." We should vet everything.

@indayevarona

Jun Sepe: Thanks for allowing us to rant! Complication din kasi tong nasa Zoom lang tayo, di natin pwedeng ambushin. Do we agree to publish only the truth? Remember Trump? Pinatayan na sya ng mikropono. Are we ready to unite as the Fourth Estate? It's not for nothing.

@junsepe

Jes Aznar: I think we have to figure it out. We don't have to be afraid to make that change, to make that paradigm shift. Hindi porket ginagawa ng mas matatanda tama.

@jesaznar

Ezra Acayan: I hope media re-patronizes photojournalists. The country is not missing photography talent. Jilson Tiu and Liza David rode bikes to venture out and report and not stop at anything.

We do not have an excuse. We have talents who are determined.

@eacayan

Caloy Conde: This issue involves a lot of sectors of society. The sooner we can make better photo/journalism we sooner we can deliver better news.

It takes a lot of creativity and courage to do what you guys do. Salamat sa ating mga listeners!

@carloshconde

Whew! Ang gandaaaaa! I did the best I can to transcribe, Spaces kasi is not recorded sayang naman yung quality ng napag-usapan. If may inaccurate just message me to take it down.

Salamat sa ating mga speakers andami kong natutunan! Media literacy ay para sa lahat!!!
