GoXtra News™
We hide at no one because we write and send you the link!
GoXtra news is a South African online entertainment news focused website that brings you the best in local (90%) and international (5%) celebrity news. We do our best in observing, recollecting and reporting the news as they happen. GX is a professional news gathering publication managed by qualified Journalist(s), who also nurture students toward achieving the best ethical and lawful service in the country's journalism.
GoXtra was founded in February 2011 as Gossip Xtra. The former name was very catchy to its target readers (the twitter and Facebook age); contrariwise it chased away the interview subjects. This innovation took place to replace the old name (Gossip Xtra). The move from the old name with its main focus (entertainment) was to expand and dwell in other beats such as education, health, technology, relationships, you and of course we also provide commentary about local icons/celebrities.
The main factor in the new name is that we wait for news to break in speculations. When that happens we GoXtra by observing, recollecting and reporting the news with an A+ view of the events that took place. Basically we Go the Xtra mile in the News. We know that no nation can be informed by speculations and grapevine talk (We'll only use the grapevine to entertain not to harm).
GX news will not commit itself in cases of defamation, racism, sexism, stereotypes and perceptions that people are judged upon. We'll be observing, Recollect and Report (ORRN) News as they happen. Our contributing writers will be obligated to follow our vision and mission, though their views will be treated as just their views. We’ll make it certain that we don’t get involved in the later Gossip trends.
We will bring you lengthy investigated news, soft news, hard news and in other cases breaking news. These will be watched, recollected and reported by media professionals under GX editorship. We'll make it certain that we don't report to become celebrities, but to remain Journalists and tell stories as they happen.
GoXtra news will be in the cut and chase competition of other existing websites (Similar). We'll let it rain and go out when it's dry to recollect the facts with no rush (the GoXtra mile factor). We'll have no minor (leave it out) facts and big (must have) facts, all we be treated as valuable information to make sure each and every copy published is objective, balanced, factual and humorous.
We know that badly observed, recollected and reported information might cause harm, trauma, lost of reputation and separation of many families. Thus our news will be carefully reported, that point across doesn't mean we'll censor information (Report as it happened).
Our content may be sensitive at times but we will caution you should that happen. The reason for this is that last year (2011) we decide to use Gonzo writing coined by Hunter S Thompson. In this type of writing you say things as they are, e.g. If the state president sucks, well, s/he sucks plain out. We call a spade a spade not something to do gardening...
