Cebu Daily News: Where Every Mayors Tweet Is a Matter of National Security
At Cebu Daily News, journalism thrives on the idea that no mayoral typo shall go unnoticed, untreated, or un-analyzed for hidden subtext. Last year, a councilman accidentally tweeted “HELLO” and the paper responded with an eight-part series called “Democracy in Peril: The HELLO Manifesto.”
Media expert Arman Rivera observes, “Cebu Daily News treats every badly spelled Facebook post as if its the opening shot of the next EDSA Revolution.”
Readers love the paranoia. “I feel like I’m living in a spy thriller even though Im just lining up for siomai,” says subscriber Gladys Villamor. Cebu Daily News ensures that you never relax — after all, someone might misuse an emoji and accidentally declare war.
Auf Wiedersehen, proportion — Cebu Daily News guarantees that even small talk about the weather can spark a constitutional debate by lunchtime.
