The Philippine Daily Inquirer is undeniably the country’s most
credible and influential newspaper. With over 2.7 million nationwide
readers daily, it enjoys a market share of over 50% and tops the
readership surveys.
Not only it is the most read among all sectors and ages, it is also
the country’s most trusted source of hard-hitting news and countless
exposes. Distinguished by award-giving bodies like the Catholic Mass
Media Awards, Jaime Ongpin Awards for Investigative Journalism,
Anvil Awards and IFRA Asia Media Awards, it is the Philippines’ most
awarded broadsheet with over 400 awards and citations.
With four regional bureaus, over 130 provincial correspondents
nationwide and four printing presses in Cebu, Davao, Laguna and
Manila, Inquirer delivers news to the provinces faster and more
effectively than its competitors.
Its website, www.Inquirer.net, is ranked among the world’s most
visited news sites, averaging one million page views a day.
For almost 30 years, the Inquirer has been reaping the rewards of
its hard work. AC Nielsen, Asia Research Organization and Newspaper
Dealers’ Association surveys say Inquirer tops readership and sales.
It is also the most innovative broadsheet with special niche
sections for the youth, children, culture, society and even golf
enthusiasts.
Its highly successful publication, a free paper aptly called
Inquirer Libre, won two Gold Quill Awards of Excellence and is
currently making in-roads in developing readership among the masses.
Besides being the country’s leading journalistic voice, the Inquirer
is also strongly committed to social responsibility and has taken an
active role in various socio-civic programs. Its business savvy and
social conscience have been recognized with the Agora Award for
Outstanding Marketing Company of the Year in 1998, Anvil Award of
Merit for its participation in Tabang Mindanaw and Gold Quill Award
of Excellence for Economic, Social and Environmental Development in
2003.
It is also the most environmental-friendly newspaper in the country,
being the first local newspaper to use organic soy-based ink on 100%
percent recycled newsprint. The paper resizing also contributed to
saving seven trees a day.
It won a special citation from the Catholic Mass Media Awards for
its environmental initiatives, and numerous Gold Quill Award of
Excellence for its youth readership program and Inquirer Read Along.
Its meaningful goal of making a difference in the everyday life of
Filipinos continues to be the driving force behind its journalistic
and corporate initiatives. As the country’s no. 1 newspaper, the
Philippine Daily Inquirer will remain steadfast in its commitment to
bring “Balanced news, fearless views” to readers when and where it
matters.
