ABS-CBN NEWS beefs up its lineup of journalists getting award-winning journalists Marites Dañguilan Vitug and Glenda Gloria to lead its online and cable TV news groups, fortifying its leadership in all of its news platforms.
Vitug is now the editor-in-chief of abs-cbnnews.com, the oldest local online news site. She will manage its content as part of the partnership with Newsbreak, a magazine known for its groundbreaking reporting which she currently heads.
”The Internet is the wave of the future so abs.cbn.com is a good place to be in. I want it to have the edge of being able to make sense of what is happening,” said Vitug, a journalist for close to 30 years and the Philippine correspondent for Newsweek.
On the other hand, Glenda Gloria is the chief operating officer of ABS-CBN News Channel or ANC, lauded for improving the quality of public discourse by doing live coverages of important events such as the NBN-ZTE Senate hearings recently. “ANC has so much potential for growth. No other TV channel in the Philippines does what it does best: break news fast, extend coverage of crucial events, and provide perspective. We have viewers in key cities of the world and we must be able to address their complex information needs,” said Gloria, who has written several books on Philippine elections, politics, security issues, Mindanao and the media. ANC and abs-cbnnews. com are part of ABS-CBN’s News group headed by Maria Ressa.
She said, “these two media platforms are our gateways to the world and to a new future. With great journalists - and friends - like Marites and Glenda now helping us chart that future, we can work more efficiently to marry traditional and new media in a way that will serve the public better.” [source of news]
