A worldwide shortage of newsprint and other materials due to the Korean War and losses suffered by some news bureaus forced the Times to revert to a weekly.

In September 2011, Mindanao Times relaunched its website; some of its most notable features include FlippingBook, an application that allows users to read the digital version of the newspaper as they would in print.

Mindanao Times also continues to maintain a strong presence online through social networking sites Facebook and Twitter.

The Mindanao Times Editorial department is headed by Amalia Bandiola-Cabusao, who has been the editor in chief since June 2003.

He is a veteran reporter and has worked as editor in various local newspapers in the cities of Davao and General Santos.

Escovilla participated in the Southeast Asean Press Alliance (SEAPA) Fellowship in summer of 2007 where he covered the Shan people in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
