Newsbreak is an online news and current affairs magazine published in the Philippines. It began as a weekly print magazine that was published from January 24, 2001, to 2006. The Newsbreak website, launched in 2006, now functions as the investigative and research arm of online news organization Rappler.
Newsbreak has published stories covering various issues that concern Congress, the presidency, the security sector, the judiciary, the media, local governments, elections, business, and the economy. The magazine is most notable as a watchdog, having published investigative reports on social ills and corruption. Newsbreak's writers have consistently been nominated for the Jaime V. Ongpin awards since its inception.
Since its migration online, Newsbreak has come out with various special editions covering topics such as the 2007 Philippine elections, scandals involving the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, and corporate social responsibility, to name a few (see links below). It was previously a partner of the media corporation, ABS-CBN, where it managed the website of its news and current affairs division, abs-cbnNEWS.com.
