New GPU Executive Up To the Task

GPU Executive

In its first media dispatch signed by outspoken secretary general Jibairu Janneh, the newly elected nine-member executive committee of Gambia Press Union (GPU) pledges to champion the course of freedom of expression in non-press free Gambia.

The executive committee of Gambian journalists’ umbrella body also expresses commitment to promoting the welfare of generally underpaid, ill-equipped Gambian journalists.

Missing Journalist Chief Manneh
Yet another 7 July marked the five years disappearance of Chief Ebrima Manneh who was a reporter with the Daily Observer. The day is always marked by mixed feelings in the history of Gambian media.

Manneh was arrested by two plain-clothed personnel at the Daily Observer premises.
