WATCH: Atom Araullo on ‘kurakot-shaming’ and his new book ‘A View from the Ground’ (Generations Episode 5)
Atom Araullo joins Philstar Life columnist Angel Martinez and PumaPodcast Editor-at-Large Jaemark Tordecilla in the episode of Generations! They engage in a thoughtful conversation about "kurakot-shaming," the origins of Atom's journalistic approach, the problem with performative outrage, and how to sustain anger against corruption. They also discuss the effectiveness of online "cancel culture" versus real-world action in driving societal change.
Atom also discusses his new book, "A View from the Ground", where he publishes stories that often go beyond what can be captured on camera, and how his experiences as a reporter have informed his views on social issues. They also explore the role of journalism in providing a voice to the marginalized who are at the other end of the effects of government corruption.
This episode was engineered by Anthony Tobias and edited by Ces Salada. The Generations Podcast is executive produced by Sheila Paras of Philstar Life and Roby Alampay of PumaPodcast.
