About us
Lovers of the part forana, the Balearic Islands and the world, communication is the network. Graduates in Journalism, Communication and in life. Experience is one degree and passion for our environment the other.

They are everything and their contributions form our brand image.

Values
- Passionate about local commerce. Creativity and innovation The pandemic has taught us the importance of loving what is ours. Whether due to lack of supplies or mobility restrictions, we all appreciate a little more the potatoes from Sa Pobla, the oranges from Soller… It is only fair to add the economic effort of these small producers who are passionate about their products and give us a little bit of tradition in each of their experiences. Buy local produce, the local economy and the sustainability of the planet will thank you.
- Passionate about digital communication. Independence, pluralism and rigour. Your good knowledge allows us a global reach. The diffusion is unlimited. We promote its use and optimal development. The key is respect for the environment and the balance between modernity and tradition.
- Passionate about Information. Defense of progress, freedom, democracy, right and oportunity equality. The main activity of the TDB reflects the philosophy of the project, a philosophy that we have internalised and for which we strive to materialise in order to have a better world. It is centred on objective information that is a true reflection of reality.
- Passionate about sustainability. Responsible, efficient and sustainable management. The aim is to get as close as possible to zero waste and to leave the smallest possible carbon footprint and, if we generate waste, to compensate with reforestation or planting trees in places in need.
- Passionate about people. They are the centre of our digital. We gather the demands of the population and give them a voice. We pay special attention to the management of new talents. They form our community of writers.
The TDB is a participative platform, in which companies and institutions can collaborate by informing about their different initiatives. We are also at the service of our readers. We encourage everyone to write, contribute constructive messages, queries, fears, challenges or challenges through our social networks. Everyone’s opinion is important to lead a change towards a more selective society in communications.
