Welcome to this edition of our bi-monthly newsletter, where we feature the best posts from all our channels, updates from ongoing projects, and opportunities to join our team. In this edition, we want to help make sense of all the information coming at us in the time of the pandemic through a (re)launched resource database and a short documentary on shooting film in the time of COVID-19.

Newly (re)launched on our blog is a COVID-19 resource database that collates and curates article and other content highlighting digital rights, free and open-source software, disinformation, and more. The database also emphasises resources originating from and geared towards the Asia-Pacific region. We welcome contributions in order to make this a truly collaborative resource.
