Continuing our mission as A Voice for the Voiceless we will diligently focus on Truth, Justice and Hope for our country. We see The Zimbabwean as a vital and unique connection between those at home and those abroad, and will use our new platform to bring attention to the vibrant culture of Zimbabwe as well as diverse, balanced and accurate news on the political situation, sport, business, culture and all aspects of life in our homeland.
Our new website will present a renewed richness of content within an easy to navigate interface. The new website also represents a refreshed editorial structure with greater content associations and cross-referencing for a more in-depth news experience.
Our goal is to present news in a manner that better reflects the high standard of journalism for which we constantly strive, coupled with the latest technological advances. Through a new and distinct typographic design and clear sign-posting we will uphold the values of The Zimbabwean and build on the publication's established reputation for professionalism and accuracy.
The Voice for the Voiceless
Since it’s inception in 2005 The Zimbabwean has diligently reported on the situation in our homeland as well as on international affairs as they relate to Zimbabwe.
As time and technology change it is important that those who strive to report the facts keep pace. Over the last six months we have carried out an in-depth review of The Zimbabwean’s editorial structure and its content, to pave the way for this major upgrade.
We want to build on The Zimbabwean’s reputation as a courageous, authoritative and content-rich news service. And to do so in ways that keep it relevant, accessible and effective.
International Respect and Support
The result of our commitment is respect. The Zimbabwean is held in high regard as a fair and reliable source of insight by its readership and also many other international news platforms.
Add to that the enormous body of support that has sustained the newspaper financially and encouraged it practically – support that is testament to the quality of journalism found within its pages.
Continuing our Promise
The promise we made when The Zimbabwean was first launched remains as strong now as it did when it was first made:
The Zimbabwean will be an authoritative and accurate newspaper of record and a reliable source of information to all those individuals, agencies and governments with an interest in Zimbabwe. A news blackout is dangerous for any society.
We will ensure that our coverage is accurate, fair and balanced. We will be accountable to our readers. We will endeavour to give all viewpoints and everyone will have the right of reply. In short, we will do everything the government newspapers in Zimbabwe are not allowed to do.
We hope you find the new Zimbabwean delivers an informative, well-balanced and accurate view. If you would like to find out more about The Zimbabwean, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
