History
Based in Davao City, MindaNews is among the first news outlets to establish presence online. They began sending news stories and photographs to prospect readers via email on May 25, 2001.[2] In May 2002, the MindaNews website went online.[3][2] MindaNews gained traction when the Battle of the Buliok Complex occurred in February 2003.[3]
MindaNews is established by Mindanao-based journalists whose stated goal is to provide "unbiased perspective" in the island's affairs; with stories regarding the region influenced by Manila-based editors who have a view that Mindanao is a war-torn region.[2]
