A new business paper is now circulating all over Davao City — The Edge Davao. It’s the first of its kind here: a newspaper that’s dedicated to business, investment and economy-centric news. And I’m part of it! I have been invited to handle the one-page “ICT hub” section, which is now the new home of my IT talks! column.
My section also has feature articles, and quick facts about the IT industry of Davao City and the region.
Aside from the ICT hub section, the paper’s other sections are: The Economy, Entrepreneurs, Vantage Points, SciTech, Competitive Edge, AgriTrend, Community Sense, and Games. The last one isn’t about video games — it’s more for sports, particularly golf and other sports that are popular among businessmen.
I am deeply honored to be in the presence of media heavyweights. The paper’s editor-in-chief is Antonio “Tony” Ajero, one of Davao’s most respected journalists. Backing him is the venerable Ramon Maxey, who is the paper’s editorial consultant. And managing the entire operation is Olivia Velasco, who has tons of experience and skill in building publications from the ground up. The Edge Davao certainly has a bright future ahead.
The paper comes out once a week, every Monday. Eventually, in the foreseeable future, we’ll become a daily newspaper. It is circulated all over the city, and will soon be covering neighboring cities as well. You can read the paper at any of the popular coffee shops in town, as well as at hotels. Subscription will soon be offered. For information, please call (82)221-3601.
