SUMMARY:2026 Shorenstein Journalism Award: Shibani Mahtani on Democratic Backsliding in Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:In her 15 years reporting on Southeast Asia and Hong Kong\, Shibani Mahtani has witnessed the region’s once-vibrant press corps dwindle in size\, as journalists are jailed\, harassed\, and sued by governments. This pressure\, along with an industry-wide strain on the business of journalism\, has forced many outlets to shutter. In her keynote address\, she will discuss how this diminished media environment has had a profound impact on regional democracy at a time of seismic global instability and consider the challenges of navigating this reality. Join APARC as we recognize Mahtani\, winner of the 2026
