Why was Rappler+ set up?

We chose to do a membership program instead of just a subscription paywall because building community is a core pillar of the organization. Rappler began with the idea that journalism powered by technology enables communities of action. We didn’t want anonymous subscribers on the other side of the screen. We want – and need – conversations with you as we tell the story of the nation and engage communities that are building a better world.

What benefits do I get as a member?

Aside from helping an independent newsroom and a journalist-led company, you also get access to exclusive content and members-only events. A lot of members find it very useful to be part of a global network of like-minded people that they can have meaningful discussions with. Our members include artists, lawyers, human rights activists, environmentalists, development workers, bankers, retired professionals, entrepreneurs, managers from countries like the US, UK, Australia, Singapore, to name a few.

What kind of exclusive content do I get as a member?

Two newsletters distributed only to members:

  • Sui Generis – from Rappler’s editor-at-large and book author Marites Vitug, about rule of law issues and Southeast Asia
  • Judgment Call – from Rappler editors and section heads, about the editorial processes and decisions that happen behind the scenes in our newsroom

E-books by Rappler Inc. available upon request:

  • The Aquino Years – a collection of previously published stories on the Aquino administration written by Rappler reporters, contributors, and editors.
  • Perfect Storm: Haiyan and Other Disasters in the Philippines – a compilation of some of Rappler’s stories from the last 6 years – stories of tragedy, resilience, and hope.
