Last weekend, I was in Tagaytay City to attend MediaNation5.2, where there gathered the country’s top journalists and media decision-makers. In the words of the event’s organizer and host, pagbabago@pilipinas, MediaNation is the only forum in the Philippines where mainstream media organizations come together as one.
It’s a coincidence that I am actually part of Davao media (Edge Davao Business Weekly), but I was invited particularly as a representative of MindanaoBloggers. My task was to present to the assembly about New Media, and what it might mean to the practice of traditional media. Also, together with other Mindanao-based representatives, I was asked to provide input on how I perceive Manila-based media covers Mindanao news.
