In the final installment of our three-part series, we look ahead at the future of journalism in Asia. With traditional news institutions under pressure from disinformation, authoritarian regimes, and internal dysfunction, what does the path forward look like—especially for the next generation of reporters? We explore how young journalists are navigating a fragile media landscape shaped by burnout, censorship, and political influence. Drawing comparisons with Europe and North America, we unpack how technology, certification systems, and grassroots innovation are reshaping the global press. We then speak with Cedric Alviani, Asia-Pacific Bureau Director of Reporters Without Borders, to reflect on how we can protect truth and rebuild public trust in an age of collapsing credibility.
