MDNN aims bigger, stronger media platforms, for better service in 2022

By MIKE BAƑOS, Editor-at-Large

The Mindanao Daily News Network (MDNN Teleradyo) grand launching during the 3rd Mindanao Governance & Leadership Excellence Awards, on December 20, 2021,was held after two years of its soft opening (during the global pandemic) for a bigger and stronger digital platform to serve its stakeholders and followers better in 2022.

ā€œWe thank the Almighty that he has given us the means and resolve to survive what has proven to be the most trying two years yet of our decade-long existence, as MDNN has now firmly established itself as a force for good, not only in the regional media landscape, but nationally and globally as well through its online editions which are now reaching not only Kagay-anons and Misamisnons nationwide, but overseas Filipinos globally as well,ā€ said President & CEO Dante Sudaria.

ā€œBesides our original BusinessWeek Mindanao, Mindanao Daily News and Metro Cagayan de Oro Times (the former Cagayan Times) print editions, we are now established an ever-growing online presence, especially MDN which is now headed for the 600K mark in followers/subscribers,ā€ Sudaria noted.

Aside from the print editions of BWN, MDN and Metro CDO Times, each of the three newspapers further multiply their reach with their respective websites, and respective social media pages as well.

ā€œMost people now mainly get their source of news and information through electronic means, especially social media, through their mobile phones and other gadgets,ā€ Sudaria observed. ā€œThe pandemic has boosted this trend even further by mandating virtual meetings for businessmen, work from home for many workers, and distance learning for school children through the internet.ā€

ā€œThus, a strong online presence will enable us not only to reach our viewers worldwide with relevant news and updated information to keep them updated about the goings on in Cagayan de Oro and Northern Mindanao, but likewise serve as a channel through which they can direct their inquiries and reports about events in their respective communities, wherever they are in the Philippines or abroad,ā€ he added.

In addition, MDNN Teleradyo relaunched its programs just last December 29 with a constantly growing schedule of online programs which address viewers need for news and information on more specific topics such as education, health and wellness, news and current affairs, avenues of civic service, among others.
