News and information purveyor NET25 is going full steam and full time in its coverage of the Senate impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte with a multimedia approach that’s centered on its NET25.com portal but reaches out as well through more traditional means such as radio and television.
Impeachment coverage is prominent in the network’s portal, with clickable YouTube videos on the proceedings, live coverage from Radyo Agila and NET25 tv news, as well as through a steady roster of opinion-makers and influencers who release columns and advocacy articles on a regular basis.
In an era where networks have become more unapologetically advocacy-focused, NET25 has embraced this global character shift in news presentation by staking clear, consistent positions on various pressing issues, more recently on the VP’s impeachment trial.
CNN and Fox News in North America have for years offered diverging news approaches that show these networks’ defined political leanings. BBC, The Telegraph and Die Welt in Europe present either liberal or conservative takes on news that allow their audience to choose.
Locally, NET25 is doing the same. For the impeachment trial, the network has stood by popular sentiment in support of the Vice President, and has consistently relied on passionate reporting and opinion-making to put forward a network position that is supportive but fair, passionate but tempered by adherence to facts and the rule of law.
In a sense, NET25 has steadily embraced being an “alternative mainstream” network.
As it continues to define its place in Philippine media, NET25 relies on steady multimedia presence and focused internal capacity building to make a bigger impact on the news consciousness of the Filipino public.
The network’s immense growth has shown that Filipinos are aching for alternative perspectives. NET25 is giving them exactly that.
