GMA Integrated News (previously and/or simply GMA News) is the standalone news division of GMA Network Inc., formed in 2022 as a result of the split of GMA News and Public Affairs.
History[]
The GMA News division traces its origin from the Republic Broadcasting System (RBS), established by Robert Stewart in 1950. The programming of its flagship AM radio station, DZBB, depended mostly on news reports. The station covered the eruption of Mt. Hibok-Hibok in 1951 and the election and death of the former Philippine president Ramon Magsaysay.
While RBS Channel 7 was established in 1961, it was in the 1970s that GMA became one of the most-watched television news source in the country. In 1983, GMA was the first to break the news of Ninoy Aquino's death and later would be the only television station to broadcast his funeral. The channel also became the first station to broadcast the Ramos-Enrile break-away that led to the People Power Revolution, also known as EDSA Revolution. In 1998, GMA teamed up with the Philippine Daily Inquirer to produce the coverage of that year's election.
GMA News became a pioneer in local television news in many ways. GMA became the first TV network to be fully reporting the news in Filipino language with their late-night newscast GMA Network News in 1998 which was anchored by Mike Enriquez and Vicky Morales. GMA was one of the pioneers of women in broadcast journalism. Tina Monzon-Palma (who moved to TV5, later ABS-CBN) was one of the first female co-anchors when she first presented News at Seven, one of the most-watched news programs in the 1970s, Helen Vela was the first woman to anchor news in Filipino for GMA Balita in 1986 and Mel Tiangco was the first late-night sole anchor for Frontpage in 1999. During the time of Martial Law by then-President Ferdinand Marcos, GMA was the first to broadcast an hourly news bulletin program - GMA News Roundup aired from 1974 to 1976. The program was later replaced by GMA News Digest in 1976, GMA News Live in 1987, GMA Flash Report in 2002, GMA News Update in 2016, 24 Oras News Alert in 2020, and since 2023, GMA Integrated News Bulletin. In the 1980s, GMA also took the lead becoming the first ever television network to broadcast on weekday late-nights and weekend primetime and late-nights.
The station was also the first to use a ticker for breaking news and traffic information. In 1995, GMA News was the first to use Electronic News Gathering Vans in the country. In 2004, it regularly began to use Satellite News Gathering facilities to reach more remote areas. GMA News also covered major events in the country such as the World Youth Day 1995, 2000 Today and 2003 World Meeting of Families.
In 2006, GMA News was praised by then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for its news coverage, and said that it was the reason for the network's high ratings. In the 2006 SWS Media Trust survey, GMA News garnered 60% of public trust, second only to rival ABS-CBN with 68%. But a similar Pulse Asia survey shows that GMA News is the more credible in the country and to key demographics.
In October 2022, following the retirement of Marissa Flores as the head of GMA News and Public Affairs, GMA Public Affairs was split into a separate division, and GMA News was subsequently renamed "GMA Integrated News" under the leadership of Oliver Victor Amoroso. The rebranding is intended to emphasize the combined resources of its television, digital, radio, and regional platforms as a singular, multi-platform news operation.
Accolades[]
Since the late 90's, GMA Integrated News, so as the public affairs division, received many accolades, especially during under the leadership of Marissa Flores.
GMA's then flagship newscast, Saksi, won the 1999 Asian Television Awards and 2002 New York Festival awards for Best Newscast. Also in the same year, George Foster Peabody Award recognized the documentaries "Kidneys for Sale" and "Kamao" by Jessica Soho and the I-Witness team and Jay Taruc's child labor story on Brigada Siete.[1] On December 9, 2003, the Philippine House of Representatives 12th Congress commended GMA News and Public Affairs through Resolution 787[2] authored by Rep. Rodolfo Plaza for its efforts in uplifting the standards of the Philippine broadcast industry by receiving the first Peabody Award for television news awarded to an Asian country in 1999.[3]
In 2010, Kara David's I-Witness documentary, "Ambulansiyang de Paa," won GMA News and Public Affairs second Peabody Award.[1] GMA News TV's documentary program Reel Time's "Salat" episode received a Peabody Award in 2013.[4] In 2014, Peabody awards recognized GMA News' State of the Nation with Jessica Soho, 24 Oras, Saksi, 24 Oras Weekend and Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho for its coverage of the Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan).[5][6]

The GMA Integrated News Weather Center, launched in 2010 as IMReady, is a public safety and preparedness campaign of GMA News and Public Affairs launched on 2010. It is the country’s first 24/7, one-stop shop for public safety information.
IMReady was forged through a partnership between GMA and several government agencies including DOST-PAGASA and Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA). It also draws support from GMA’s collaboration with Google and Waze, the leading traffic navigation app.[7]
On 2014, GMA New Media, the technology and digital arm of GMA, launched the IMReady mobile application where in users can see real-time information and updates including weather, traffic situations, and news alerts. It was available on iOS and Android phones.[8]
As part of the rebranding, the IMReady segment on GMA Integrated News' newscasts was renamed to it's present name in 2023, focusing on weather forecasting with an 'expanded' roster of weather forecasters.

Trivia[]
- Despite the news division renamed "GMA Integrated News" since 2022, the "GMA News" name is used in a simple manner or in various occasions, even its name retained on GMA Integrated News' digital platforms such as their social media platforms (@gmanews) and GMA News Online.
- GMA Integrated News's other slogan/motto is "Serbisyong Totoo". Although the slogan was retired during the start of Oliver Victor Amoroso's leadership, the slogan becomes a legacy to both Integrated News and GMA Public Affairs since the two separate divisions inherited as the successor to its former joint division, which was dissolved following Flores' retirement.
