One too many diaries ? In the age of the internet and social networks, it is not wrong to think that print newspapers are out of fashion. Worldwide, the mainstream media have not finished making deep cuts in their budgets and laying off journalists and support staff. Some have even given up their printing presses to appear only online.
In Benin, if the situation is less marked, it is all the same characterized by a congestion of the media landscape. There are too many newspapers, it is said, to the point where some are content to publish their front page on social networks.
This is why the gamble on this new medium is risky in a period when Beninese readers are abandoning newspapers, it is the collapse of advertising revenues that further "weigh down" the economy of this sector.
In this context, what is GASKIYANI INFO looking for? ?
True, it is a word in the Haussa language which means Truth. And the truth, we need it in a country where the public gives less and less credibility to the media. Gaskiyani Info therefore sets itself the challenge of restoring the image of the media by publishing credible information.. The truth, nothing but the truth is therefore the credo of this young newspaper which has just been born and which you have in your hands.
On the menu, there will be, for each publication, the national news report, social issues, the sport, transportation, economy and culture. To this will be added analyzes made to inform opinion on the news. The newspaper, these are also points of view to express. We will do it in strict neutrality, to make our contribution to building a viable and prosperous democratic nation. Au niveau de Gaskiyani, it is the information that dictates the place and space that the subjects treated should occupy.
Which is certain, Gaskiyani will defend a liberal credo with a "pro-business" line which defends "the idea that the company is the best place to generate wealth and share it".
For all these challenges, the newspaper will appear twice a week but the online site will be continuous. Do not doubt. Our team is made up of journalists from various backgrounds, experienced professionals and above all renowned for their height of mind, most of whom are four and fifty years old for the most part and come from the most diverse media. Avec Truth info, the Truth is assured
