\n\t\t\t\t\tThe intention is to still serve you the really important breaking news, but do it in a form that doesn’t unnecessarily lengthen what can be said in a sentence or two\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n
If you will pay close attention to the lineup of stories on the Rappler website, you will notice something. We now rarely publish story pages for breaking or straight news \u2014 or what we call internally the \u201che said, she said, this happened today\u201d stories or \u201ccrumbs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead, for the past several months, what we have been publishing daily are unique takes on current affairs (in addition to our staple in-depth and investigative reports).\u00a0<\/p>\n
We skip simply reporting that Person A has been appointed to a government post, and tell you immediately what you need to know about that appointee\u2019s background. You won\u2019t find us churning out daily stripteases on crime investigations, but can expect us to do a well-curated wrap of what police have found so far over the past week, or to make sense of why it is difficult to capture Fugitive B and Absconder C when they can file court motions and their statements are all over the media through their counsels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If your reaction to what I just said is, \u201cReally? I didn\u2019t notice,\u201d then I\u2019d like to thank you \u2014 it means you\u2019re an avid Rappler follower who sees our releases on all the platforms where we are present.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If your reaction is, \u201cSo I cannot expect you anymore to bring me into the thick of action?\u201d then this edition of the newsletter is for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rappler continues to bring you, in real time, anything big that breaks: an official resigns, a big fish is arrested, a landslide of garbage buries dozens, an impeachment complaint is junked, a Senate coup is averted. But you no longer find them in story pages on our site, but as updates on the Community tab of the Rappler app.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aptly, our justice reporter Jairo Bolledo<\/a> coined the term \u201cappdates\u201d for this kind of reports \u2014 as in, news updates broken on the app. These appdates have \u201cclickable\u201d links that our Community Growth team share on social media, which can bring the readers to our app and its many topic- or sector-based channels.\u00a0<\/p>\n After we\u2019ve broken the daily news, you will be served the unique stories: an explainer, a context piece, an insightful recap, for example.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is how it works:\u00a0<\/p>\n You get the drift.\u00a0<\/p>\n The intention is to still serve you, our audience, the really important breaking news, but do it in a form that doesn\u2019t unnecessarily lengthen what can be said in a sentence or two, and to do it on Rappler\u2019s own platform that\u2019s free from the manipulated algorithms of the big tech platforms. That way, you are kept abreast of happenings. (In fact, other news organizations maintain channels on the app: The vast network of the Philippine Press Institute<\/a>, Iloilo\u2019s The Daily Guardian<\/a>, and Cebu\u2019s SunStar<\/a>.)\u00a0<\/p>\n The Rappler site, meanwhile, serves you a lineup of carefully chosen content that makes sense of the news, provides context, explains issues, and investigates \u2014 not bits and pieces produced mechanically or routinely and which overwhelm you with sheer quantity.\u00a0<\/p>\n Have you downloaded the Rappler app? Please do so \u2014 it\u2019s free on iOS<\/a>, Android<\/a>, and the web<\/a>. You will discover we actually have more than breaking news and appdates there; we have conversations and tiplines<\/a> where you can do your part as engaged and empowered citizens.<\/p>\n RECOMMENDED STORIES<\/p>\n \u2013 Rappler.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors.
