Rational Insanity
TNT explodes in Roxas City
There is a new, exciting, wave in Roxas City. For the past few years, The News Today (TNT) has not been able to penetrate the City's readership, now, as of last week, TNT has become more visible. Thanks to an able and dedicated newly established bureau.
With TNT in Roxas City, there will definitely be an explosion of fresh daily news, exciting features, and fun and intellectual columns. TNT prides itself with having top of the line writers and reporters. Aside from just its contents TNT also boasts of 'eye-candy' type lay-outing and crisp and clear printing courtesy of Makinaugalingon Printers in Iloilo City. Roxas City can now have in their hands twenty pages bursting with news, information, opinion articles, and advocacy-driven pieces.
Well, honestly, I am quite excited with this new development because I could finally read my column straight from the pages of TNT as opposed to checking our website every week to read Rational Insanity. Now that I mentioned it, we also have our own website for those of you who would rather read from a computer screen than from paper, it's www.thenewstoday.info.
TNT sells for ten pesos a copy, so go to your nearest news stand and grab a copy. We are the paper of the hip, the fun, the yuppie, and the intelligent. At least we barely have to worry about grammatical errors in our pages, and if ever we do have grammatical errors, these are not as glaring as the ones from the 'kabilang estasyon'. If you can't grab hold of a copy just yet, go to the nearest hotel or coffee shop and surely you will find a copy there. We finally have an honest to goodness, industrious delivery boy.
I'm not selling out TNT because I am with TNT, it's the other way around actually. I am with TNT because I believe in it. I was with this paper when it started. Before, we were just a weekly news-mag type spreadsheet, now we have gone daily, thanks to the aggressive marketing strats of one Marichel Teves Magallona.
So, to the people of Roxas City, if you have anything you want us to write about, just drop us a line at our feedback center, feedback@thenewstoday.info. If you guys have social events like weddings, parties, bar openings, etc., or you simply want us to write about the excellent food in your restaurant, you can give us a ring and we will send over a writer/reporter to do the job.
You may also send your comments and suggestions to articles or columns like this one. We will gladly publish your thoughts on certain matters. We want TNT to be dynamic, interactive, and full of life. Reading the paper is not just reading the paper; with TNT it is a healthy exchange of opinions and a living, breathing, growing community. We want to hear from you. If in case you want to write your own article, we would gladly have you as a guest writer. TNT is open to all of these things; after all, the best way to get to your readers is to involve your readers. We do not isolate our readers and put ourselves on a pedestal; we are your friends in the media; we talk, but most especially, we also listen (napaka-'Dreamgirls' eh, hehe).
Anyway, having TNT in Roxas City is definitely a fresh and very welcome development. I do hope that you guys here in Roxas City would welcome us also into your lives. We want to be part of your everyday as you are always a part of ours. We write for you. We write things that you would want to read. We write news that does not sound irritating. To irritate you is the least of our objectives. Finally, we try to be as apolitical as possible so as not to get into the nerves of our public servants because we believe that the people are intelligent enough to watch over their own officials. We are here to give you accurate and comprehensive information, to entertain you, and to make your everydays a bit more exciting.
TNT will change how you read the news. Have you read 'The News Today'? Well, you should have, or you won't be 'in'!
Be rational; be insane…every once in a while! TTFN!
I love you all! Byers!
