Access and Influence
As you know the Manila News-Intelligencer only publishes people who know what they are talking about – either through direct experience, deep study, or both. This includes everyone from former senior officials to ex-spooks to top scholars to flat-footed reporters. If you want to know more about what these people think about the world – and if you want to be able to talk directly to them and read their more private insights – both the Manila News page and our Philippines News page are the best way for you to do that. And you can make sure they hear your views too!

Engagement
You are a part of a community – the 9 million strong community of Manila. You know the value and insights other members of the community – our tribe – bring to the table through passion and hard-earned experience. The Opinion page is built explicitly for members of this community to engage with each other as much as they want. Other newspapers have tried to solve this problem and have failed: We all get too many emails already and email distro lists are cumbersome. Twitter is too noisy and there are too many trolls. Not all of our Facebook friends want to hear our latest thoughts on government acquisitions, China’s military posture, or the intricacies of jihadist ideology. In the World News Hall, you can geek out on all this to your heart’s content with a tribe of people just as committed as you. Plus, Manila News-Intelligencer readers will have direct input in to the new features and services we roll out over time.

Support Your Hometown Newspaper
No one provides more credible, experience-based commentary and analysis on Manila economic, political and social affairs. This simple formula is paying off. The Manila News-Intelligencer is growing. But we are totally independent and we want to stay that way. There’s no big corporation – defense or otherwise – backing us. That’s how we stay credible and unbiased. If our independence is important to you, then this membership is important to you. If you visit this site often, you are a part of the tribe that stabilizes MNI’s balance sheet while making it possible for us to publish more articles, review more restaurants, and do new things specifically for the most passionate members of our tribe. Make a difference, visit everyday.
