INQUIRER.net was set up with only a four-man team. That team has grown into more than 150 staff now covering news, video, graphics, research, sales and marketing, administration and finance, and human resources.
Over the years, INQUIRER.net’s editorial team has practically covered big and important news events in the country. The stories and reports produced on these events ran across politics, governance, natural calamities and disasters, massacres, the communist insurgency, peace and order situation in Mindanao, COVID-19, the elections, sports, business, lifestyle, technology and entertainment. We featured a lot of feel-good stories as well as success stories that inspired readers and drew positive response from the public.
Five editors—Maila Ager, Tetch Tupas and Celest Flores-Colina of INQUIRER.net, and Rick Gabuya and Doris Bongcac of Cebu Daily News Digital—talk about the experience of covering, gathering and telling these stories.
Three major acquisitions and the setting up of additional units helped boost INQUIRER.net's reach and sphere of influence over the years. Read them all here.
Hinge, a niche company that is home to lifestyle brands, was acquired by INQUIRER.net in 2021. It was considered a bold move, but one aligned with INQUIRER.net's goal of expanding its presence in various audience segments. Listen to Hinge staff give a glimpse of how it feels shifting work from print to digital.
