Two newspapers have hit the newsstands in and around
Banjul, the Gambian capital this month, October 2012.
The Mirror and The Daily Standard are the latest
addition to the Gambian newspaper publishing industry, which is often
characterised as “not free.” The new newspapers began publishing a
month after the “arbitrary closure” of two leading independent newspapers, The Standard and The Daily News.
