It was an amazing experience of two and half years of struggle and consistent publication. However, like any other business it was full of challenges, the most challenging problem was lack of adequate advertisement to sustain the publication.
However, we have made serious impact especially in the North where we had thirteen correspondents out of the nineteen states. It was not easy, because some government policies were not in our favour.
Due to the enormous challenges, we were facing then, we had to suspend the publication in 2014.
After years of break, we now decided to go online with the tittle: viewfinderng.com. It is going to be robust in providing investigative and exclusive local news stories that are informative, educative and entertaining.
Some of the stories that we will give emphasis include: Agriculture, human angle, health, education, environment, politics, telecommunications, economy, entertainment and sports.
