Media Newser Philippines (often referred to as Media Newser or MNP) is an independent media news website that has covered the Philippine television news industry since 2010, operating under the tagline “News on Philippine Television News.”

Some of the major media stories first reported by Media Newser Philippines include the rebranding of 9TV to CNN Philippines and its eventual shutdown in 2024, anchor shakeups on GMA-7 in 2014, the arrival of Bloomberg TV Philippines, the supposed partnership between ABS-CBN and MediaQuest in 2022, the departure of longtime morning news icon Rhea Santos and Atom Araullo’s big move to GMA-7.

In addition to news coverage, Media Newser Philippines features commentaries, program reviews of various news and public affairs programs, and interviews with industry figures. Notable personalities featured on the website’s Q&A series include The Filipino Channel’s Yong Chavez, News5’s Atty. Mel Sta. Maria, and Rhea Santos (formerly of GMA News and now with OMNI News).

As an industry platform, MNP has been referenced on television programs such as Umagang Kay Ganda, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, Solar Daybreak, and Aksyon JournalisMo, and on news portals such as Bloomberg, Rappler, The Philippine Star, Philippine Daily Inquirer, InterAksyon, GMA News Online, ABS-CBNNews.com, Asian Journal, and Yahoo News.
