History, background • The Namibian, founded in 1985 by Gwen
Lister, goes
unchallenged as the country’s largest, most influential and
independent national English daily newspaper. Tangeni
Amupadhi took over as editor in 2011.
• At the core of our commitment to “telling it like it is”, is
the
belief that Namibians have the right to know, the right to
be
informed both about themselves and about the world at large
through journalism; maintenance of standards of
professional ethics, credibility; integrity and
trustworthiness;
and the ability to report events and express opinions freely
without interference or intimidation of any kind.
• The dominant brand equity our paper enjoys today, did not
come about by chance, but as a result of hard work and
commitment, which has rooted the newspaper amongst the
people of this country.
• The Namibian is the only Namibian newspaper verified by
the ABC, is widely distributed throughout Namibia with
39,125 copies printed Mondays to Thursdays, and 70,900 on
Fridays.
• Being Namibia’s biggest selling daily newspaper, we are
motivated by a balance between profit and principle by
“putting back” into the community. The Namibian spends
close to N$3 million a year on various social responsibility
projects.
