The news website has centered critical attention on what the Nobel committee called President Rodrigo Duterte's “controversial, murderous anti-drug campaign” in the Philippines. Rappler has also shown how social media is being used to spread false news and attack opponents.诺贝尔委员会指出，2012 年，Ressa 与他人共同创立了 Rappler。新闻网站将批评的注意力集中在诺贝尔委员会称之为菲律宾总统罗德里戈·杜特尔特的“有争议的、凶残的禁毒运动”上。Rappler 还展示了社交媒体如何被用来传播虚假新闻和攻击对手。Ressa was found guilty last year of libel and sentenced to jail. In August, a Philippine court dismissed the case. Ressa said she hopes the Nobel Peace prize will help investigative journalism “that will hold power to account.”雷萨去年因诽谤罪被判入狱。8 月，菲律宾法院驳回了此案。雷萨说，她希望诺贝尔和平奖能够帮助“能够追究责任”的调查性新闻。Dmitry MuratovDmitry Muratov is the first Russian to win the Nobel Peace prize since Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990.
