Southern Leyte Times

Southern Leyte Times is one of the popular news paper in Southern Leyte. It's base is in Maasin City. The size of its paper is larger compared to the Southern Leyte Balita and it has more content than the later.

However, while searching the internet for information about the paper, I found the blogpost of Selaplana regarding the Southern Leyte Times and he was calling the paper unreliable.

Well, he has actually the reason to call the paper that. I also noticed it. Besides with being unreliable, the writers of the paper is also sensationalizing the stories. One of the story sensationalized by the writers of Southern Leyte Times is the incident wherein a certain Agero jump off the Agas-agas bridge. The news article of the paper has actually garnered negative comments from the readers.

The paper is actually published weekly. And it has its own online website at www.southernleytetimes.com.

Maasin City News

Maasin City is the base of the two news papers of Southern Leyte. These two newspapers are Southern Leyte Times and the Southern Leyte Balita. Among these newspapers the Southern Leyte Times has its own website.

However, another news website is existing but it has no print version. This news website is the Maasin City News.

Currently the news website has only one active contributor so far these days when I checked the site. He's Gorpido Quirico Jr. But his contributions are more on the meeting of the Southern Leyte SP or the Maasin City SP.

My suggestion to the owner or the administrator of the website is that he should add more contributors that will cover health, police and other reports that will give the people of Southern Leyte the information they need knowing that there are many Southern Leytenos who are already online reading news, although most of them are just playing Facebook.

I just hope that the owner of the Maasin City News will find this blog. I can even help him if he will accept me as the new contributor.
