The rise of the news creator

Manila Bulletin

November 6, 2025

Fresh from the first day of the Asian Leaders Summit 2025 by the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) in Singapore, one topic stood out: the rise of the news creator.

For millions of young people, news today is as likely to come from a social media creator as from a traditional newsroom. Creators thrive on agility, authenticity, and the strength of devoted communities. Legacy media, meanwhile, are built on depth, trust, and reach. Both are essential forces in today's information landscape and yet they seldom collaborate.

In the past decade, we've witnessed how Filipinos consume news shifting dramatically toward social media. The rise of news creators has become an inseparable part of that transformation.

But what exactly are news creators?

A Reuters Institute report, "Mapping news creators and influencers in social media and video networks," published on Oct. 28, 2025, defines news creators as "individuals (or sometimes small groups of individuals) who create and distribute content primarily through social and video networks and have some impact on public debates around news and current affairs. News creators are independent from wider news institutions for at least some of their news output. As such, they overlap with what are sometimes referred to as 'newsfluencers' (Hurcombe 2024) or 'peripheral actors' in the academic literature (Hanusch and Löhmann 2022)."

Filipinos in the UN: A showcase of service, integrity, and leadership

The Filipino commitment to peace and professionalism has long extended beyond our shores. In my years of service—first in the Armed Forces of the Philippines and later under the United Nations—I have witnessed how Filipinos consistently rise to the challenge of serving humanity. Whether in the corridors of global institutions or in conflict-torn communities across the world, our countrymen have shown that integrity, resilience, and compassion are deeply embedded in the Filipino character. The story of Filipinos in the UN is not simply a record of participation—it is a living testament to the belief that peace begins with example and that true leadership is grounded in moral courage.
