BusinessWorld Online: About Us:
"BusinessDay was considered a standard of fairness, credibility and integrity in the journalistic world. The principles behind the paper's existence were closely guarded by its publisher/president and editor-in-chief Raul L. Locsin.
At least twice in its history, the paper was able to withstand forces both within and outside the company. First, the martial law years failed to stop its presses. Second, the concept of professional economic journalism refused to die even as a labor problem forced the company to close shop on June 5, 1987.
The non-striking workers got together barely a month later to form BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, ushering in the paper's rebirth under a new name. This rebirth also saw the full computerization of its production process.
Unlike its predecessor, BusinessWorld has had to compete from the very start with other business dailies and several other papers with expanded business sections. But the paper managed to position itself comfortably in the overcrowded industry. Indeed, not all business papers are created equal."
