EDGE DAVAO, the pioneering business and investment weekly publication in the region, came out with its very first issue on March 10, 2008. Not without some trepidation, as it were. It was a time of grave peril for economies around the world which began to feel the first stirrings of a global financial crisis. Local pundits, well-meaning or otherwise – wondered how long the publication would last, noting its appearance on newsstands in such uncertain times. A news publication, after all, depends mainly on the availability of advertising revenue to survive; more so, if it is still undergoing birth pains.
After a year of trying to keep its head above water, so to speak, EDGE DAVAO has managed to keep itself, not only afloat (thank you), but to make a mark in its chosen field as the region’s first and only business and investment weekly. Its hard-working and dedicated staff now realize that, with the first year already behind them, there’s no stopping their pursuit of their goal.
Business and economics are often not accorded with high priority in terms of coverage and prominence in most newsrooms hereabouts, until lately after EDGE DAVAO had shown the way. In an age of globalization, economics is changing our lives so much that today it is more and more in the mix of public policies. Especially at a time when a global economic meltdown has most of the world’s economies in its grip.
