As independent journalists, our primordial duty is to tell the truth and present facts to help the public discern issues and concerns impacting their lives.– if the claim is based on truth but maliciously twisted that gives a different impression to serve a group or individual’s vested interests.
Prior to the PFCI project, MindaNews co-founded Tsek.ph, a collaboration among Philippine media institutions to fight disinformation and misinformation during the 2019. Tsek.ph did the same thing for the 2022 elections. MindaNews has sustained its operation through proceeds from subscriptions of its news service and sales of books. It also receives grants from non-state actors. Editorial prerogative, however, is left entirely to MindaNews.
