AS Mindanao Daily celebrates its 12th year today. It emphasizes the reading public’s need for a “stronger and dynamic media that promotes more on economic and business developments.”
“Development journalism, in this sense, will not only inform but also educate people, young and adult, across all platforms of nation-building activities,” says MDN President & CEO Dante M. Sudaria.
Mindanao Daily News (MDN) and its sister publications – BusinessWeek Mindanao and Metro Cagayan Times, has been engaged in publishing development and economic news and updates in majority of its pages and even in its on-line version and digital programs.
This kind of reportage helps budding and established businesses and economic institutions to engage in successful trade and industry promotions not only in print but also in digital and social media platforms.
Not to be outdone also in MDN’s brand of public service are its Corporate Affairs CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) projects: the Mindanao Business Leaders and Entrepreneur Awards (MBLEA); the Mindanao Governance and Leadership Excellence Awards (MGLEA); and the Non-mainstream and Campus Journalism Awards.
Today, global trade and business techniques are easily available as reference, but businesses and economic decision-makers still need newspapers not only as a tool for advertising, but also as a day-to-day study and application of a comprehensive platform for business intelligence.
Through media’s effective reporting, organizations can design analytics and information delivery network. It enhances the ability for end users to be efficiently updated with important data, and arrive at proactive decision-making to accomplish an advantage in competition.
In today’s business competition media is expected to deliver sophisticated analytics and innovative reporting needed by organizations. Presenting timely data through proper reporting and analytics would enable news consumers the ability to make decisions that are more informed and based on evidence.
One impact on good business reporting is changing the way workers do their jobs and how decisions are made by the management.
Hence, MDN will continue its avowed mission to help business and economic organizations towards achieving : Increased productivity; employee satisfaction; Improved analysis and decision-making; and Increased organizational communication and collaboration. ###
