HybridNewsNG has reached a defining milestone in its editorial journey with the formal approval of its International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) by the National Library of Nigeria, a development that confers official recognition on the platform as a registered serial publication.
The ISSN, a globally accepted eight-digit identifier, is used to authenticate and distinguish serial publications such as newspapers, magazines and journals, whether in print or electronic form. With this approval, HybridNewsNG is now fully listed within national and international bibliographic databases, a status that enhances its credibility, visibility and long-term archival value.
Industry observers note that the approval places HybridNewsNG on the global publishing map, opening the door to wider circulation, institutional referencing, indexing and formal partnerships. It also strengthens the platform’s standing among stakeholders in the media, academic and policy communities who rely on verified publications for information and analysis.
Speaking on the development, the management of HybridNewsNG described the ISSN approval as a validation of years of dedication to professional journalism, accuracy and ethical reporting. The platform reaffirmed its commitment to responsible media practice, balanced storytelling and service to the public interest.
Beyond its technical significance, the milestone is seen as a call to higher editorial standards as the organisation expands its reach and deepens its impact. With official recognition now secured, HybridNewsNG is positioned to consolidate its role as a trusted source of news, features and informed commentary across diverse sectors.
Above all, the management returned all glory to God Almighty for the grace and guidance that made the achievement possible, describing the moment as both an encouragement and a renewed responsibility to uphold excellence.
As celebrations continue, congratulatory and goodwill messages from readers, partners and well-wishers are warmly welcomed.
