CEBU, Philippines - The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) has revived “Tabang Media (Help for the Media),†the relief and rehabilitation drive that provided aid to journalists affected by Sendong in 2011.
Super typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) has rendered all radio stations and other local media outlets in Samar and Leyte inoperable. It has claimed four lives and swept homes of a dozen more of our colleagues in the industry.
Let’s reach out and bridge the gap.
We urge Manila-based and international media networks to hire our colleagues in Eastern Visayas to be their news stringers/correspondents in the field to help them help themselves.
Please email nujphil@gmail.com for details and list of media workers affected in Eastern Visayas.
