During her time in Oxford, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, incoming director of the Reuters Institute, interviewed her about why she founded Rappler, and how technology has enabled the popular Philippines news site to speak directly to audiences and build 'communities of action' in a country where, she says, the "processes of governance are slow".
