Sheriff bojang biography

Why do you guys think that you own journalism? That you are more experienced than other folks? The scriptures say speaking truth before a tyrant is an act of worship. If you think there is tyranny in the land and you are speaking against it, more power to your pen. My problem is this ceaseless torrent of sulphurous lies, personal attacks and bad writing.

All this braggadocio masquerading as feral journalism! People hide under pseudonyms and write whatever suits their fancy about other people like witches on steroids. That is not journalism. Journalism can be angry but honest and restrained. Will you leave your new wife behind? For now we are joined at the hips! What do you intend to do for a living upon your return home?

Sheriff bojang biography

Sell colanut at Brikama market. What is your beef with Dida Halake? Why should you embarrass an old folk like Halake type on the Internet? Like a leprechaun, he does not walk on steady feet and has to be careful. Who was it who first warned him, Demba Jawo? Were you trying to impress your boss Amadou? Halake recently came on line and said some negative stuff about Samba.

Amadou Samba does not need me to fight his battle. Any last words Mr Bojang? Some idiot wrote something about me the other time and you asked him to apologise to me, I am waiting for yours for all the false things you wrote about me. In one article last year you made 72 false allegations against me. Omar Bah called me and apologise for the things he was writing about me.

Thank you for granting me a right to reply… you apparently have some redeeming qualities! Thanks Mr Bojang for granting us this interview. Extend our kindest regards to your wife.

The Chronicle is a digital media outlet, a digital newspaper if you may, and will be incorporated with a lot of audio-visual content as podcasts. We will focus and specialise on in-depth form of reporting, investigative journalism and human interest stories. Diversity is the key, our focus on whatever we do, will bear that; diversity, not covering just the urban areas, the Banjul and the everyday stories but then, every other story across the country.

Some of this country is very beautiful. I think our feeling is that Gambians had a lot of that. It is just too much. We will be known for not just reporting about what someone says or something at conferences but then we would analyse and every story we do will be multiple sourced and it will be balanced and fair, but it will also be critical.

They set up The Chronicle many months ago after the exit of Jammeh and according to them, they saw a huge gap in The Gambia in terms of dissemination of information, in terms of treating information, in terms of putting information out. They read a lot, but when they want to read about The Gambia, this is not the same story, not much to read.

This is what triggered them. They wanted to contribute to building a better and stronger society. When they came up with the name, I was not hired. They already got the name and got it registered legally, in The Gambia. You earned a reputation as a professional journalist, are you not worried that working for a man who financed a coup might tarnish your image?

No, not at all. So many people fought… I am not here to defend what Cherno did with that coup. I think the general consensus is people got fed up, a bunch of people got fed up about what was happening — the dictatorship. So that is his life, his business and his decision. Am I worried? Why did you accept their offer? Because first, I think their idea, their ideals and their vision through The Chronicle, is amazing.

I think this is the kind of media The Gambia needs to fill the gap. What gave me the assurance is that guarantee of percent, non-interference and editorial independence. My contractual agreement with them is based on editorial independence. There will be no interference by any inside or outside forces. I am here to start everything from zero. When it comes to the people I hire, they have no business in that too.
