EDITORIAL POSITION
CybokNews has a wide and balanced coverage enhanced by its simplicity of narrative style, lucid prose and informed analysis, which will assure it a wide audience. It will equally draw a wide audience base from the intelligentsia, the political class, opinion leaders, the diplomatic corps, professional career men and women, and other members of the attentive public. Although its bias is on the political, business, national and international news reporting, it’s back up stories on entertainment, sports and technology will help to broaden its audience. In particular, it has speed and veracity as its editorial watchword. It must therefore: –
Be seen as the people’s voice. Advocate the cause of the downtrodden so that this segment of the public can identify with it. This fact is the role of the press as the fourth estate of the realm. This we believe will translate higher patronage. Practice responsible journalism. In marketing parlance, the target audience of CybokNews is the middle and upper classes particularly the young executives. BOARD
