As one of the oldest
newspapers in the country The Bohol Chronicle turned 54 years old last May. It
was a fitting gift to note that it is now the 11th most visited newspaper digital
and on-line website in the country.
This
was based on documented hits gathered by mediati.com who monitored the website
visits of 31 newspapers in the country during the last six months - December 2007
to May 2008.
The
Bohol Chronicle, founded and first edited by the late media patriarch Zoilo Dejaresco
Jr., has come out on print - without interruption except for one week immediately
following the declaration of Martial Law in 1972. It is now published every Wednesday
and Sunday.

Cebu Daily News, Sun Star and The Freeman.
