About Us
CoverStory is a social enterprise owned and operated by the IndieMedia Professionals Cooperative, which is composed of veteran journalists, mostly former editors, reporters, photographers and staff members of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
We are driven by a passion to empower Filipinos through this digital space for deep reading, to engage, share ideas, and spark meaningful conversations and perspectives on national news and political issues that impact our daily life, and on other concerns—education, physical and mental health, the arts, sports, entertainment—that make wellbeing possible.
Since it was launched in May 2022, CoverStory has rapidly gained online traction.
