Today (29 December) we celebrate our fifth anniversary. Five years old and counting. 

In December 2018, we set out to create a news platform that supports free speech and expression in The Gambia. 

As an independent media platform, Gambiana strives to reflect the views and aspirations of a broad spectrum of Gambians by publishing objective, factual and balanced coverage of the news. 

Our editorial policy is the pursuit of truth free from bias and partisanship. We encourage, defend and promote the highest standards of journalism.  

At Gambiana we believe in the power of idea. It’s the greatest currency for social change and progress. We will give expression to ideas and thoughts that aim to cure all our ills and we will fight vociferously against corruption and tribalism, the twin evil forces obstructing our progress as a nation. 

It’s been an incredible five years for us and we couldn’t be prouder of the work we have done. We’re happy that you, our amazing readers, are with us on this journey 

Thank you for supporting our independent journalism. 

Happy New Year. 

Momodou Musa Touray, Founder and managing editors
