Corruption in journalism: We need your help, President-elect Duterte

Thanks to him, corruption in journalism became a subject of national discourse last week.

That there is corruption in the media and there are corrupt journalists is something that everybody knows—from Batanes to Sabah. But people in high places and politicians rarely talk about it.
