'Stand For Truth' is not your regular newscast
GMA Network's weeknight online newscast "Stand for Truth" is finally coming to screens on April 15.
Headlined by the award-winning broadcast journalist Atom Araullo, renowned analyst Richard Heydarian, and influential online personality Joyce Pring, "Stand for Truth" is a newscast produced and reported "by the young for the young".
According to GMA Network First Vice President for Public Affairs Nessa Valdellon, the show will be different from everything else the network has created before.
"The show will contain live analysis, data-driven segments, hindi lang 'yung normal news," she said. "Magiging mas malalim and may daily music segment tayo. We just recently shot Ben&Ben and IV of Spades actually."
