The Gambia ranks 58th in the World Reporters Freedom Index of this year in 180 countries founded by reporters without borders. The country remains ranked in 2024.
He ranked 10th in Africa and 5th in West Africa. So, according to Sadibou Marong, director of RSF Subaharan Africa, Gambia’s rankings aren’t too bad.
“Last year, Sheriff Musa, editor-in-chief of the Audio Newspaper, was summoned to appear in the High Court after President Adama Barrow sued an article about him. The complaints were later retracted. Jammeh remains in effect and will serve prison sentences for journalists.”
“The RSF has launched media on board the Gambia with Journalism Trust Initiative (JTI), a process. It is asking media and authorities to acquire collective ownership of the Journalism Trust Initiative (JTI). It has already been adopted by over 2,000 media in 119 countries. The editorial process, and emphasis on trusted media, provides the basis for directing public funding, guiding reference policies, and for platforms and search engines to promote trustworthy information and protecting disguise strategies.
