Press Release:  Gambia Press Union (US/K)

By Mathew K Jallow

We the members of The Gambian Press in the United States, consisting of Senegambia News, Freedom Newspaper, The Allgambian, and The Gambia Echo, having carefully examined the issues and challenges facing our membership and media practitioners in The Gambia, have resolved to reconstitute the Gambian Press in the US into an organ that speaks to the needs of our members. We have, therefore, come together to form and recreated the Gambian press in the U.S. into The Gambia Press Union (US/K). This name is temporary until a new name is agreed upon.

Having come to this conclusion, we further declare that no Press Union other than the above mentioned is authorized to represent much less speak on behalf of the Gambia Press in the United States.

The only Press Union that will represent and speak for and on behalf of The Gambian press in the United States, shall henceforth be The Gambian Press Union (US/K). An expanded version of this Press Release will be circulated to The Gambia Press Union (Gambia) and journalism associations and organizations around the world. This notification will take effect Monday 30th. March, at 12 midnight. By this release organizations other than the one mentioned, are advised to desist from pretending to represent a media that exists only in their heads.
