Natashya Gutierrez, sometimes known as Ashley Gutierrez, is a Filipino journalist[1][2][3] best known for her work as a multimedia reporter for internet news organization Rappler.[4][5]

Gutierrez is also the co-founder of Leap Philippine Internships, a program which provides opportunities for US based college students to intern in the Philippines.[6]

Early life and education

The middle child of businessman Francis Gutierrez and Tina Lazcanotegui,[7] the latter with Spanish ancestry,[8] Gutierrez received her education from St. Pedro Poveda College and International School Manila (ISM), graduating in 2006. Gutierrez graduated cum laude from Yale University with a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2010.[2]

As a Yale Journalism scholar, Gutierrez worked with various publications, was a reporter for the undergraduate-run monthly television newsmagazine YTV News,[8] and was co-editor-in-chief of the Yale Journal of Human Rights.[2]

Career

Rappler

After graduation, Gutierrez first took up a job with a digital marketing firm in New York City and then moved to Dallas to work for a public relations firm. A trip back to the Philippines put her in contact with journalist Maria Ressa, who invited her to become a reporter for Rappler, where she now regularly anchors the daily Rappler Newscast.

Stories in which Gutierrez' coverage have played a significant role include the 2013 Serendra explosion,[3] in which her coverage raised questions about whether the gas responsible for the explosion had been odorless and may thus have made residents unable to detect the leak; and the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam.[4][5]

In August 2013, the latter coverage resulted in Janet Lim-Napoles filing a libel case against Gutierrez, a number of other journalists, and a blogger who had posted pictures allegedly of Napoles' daughter, depicting a supposedly lavish lifestyle.[4][5]

Gutierrez currently serves as Rappler's bureau chief in Indonesia.[9]
