Nation Media Group’s Statement On Withdrawal By Columnists

Nation Media Group notes with regret the position taken by columnists who have been writing for NMG platforms and have decided to stop writing for our publications. We respect their right to take a collective decision, although each of them had an individual contract that we have diligently honored over the years we have worked with them. We wish to reiterate that overall we have honored our obligation to respect their views and did not tamper with their positions expect to correct basic errors.

NMG was founded more than half a century ago on the bedrock of independent voices, diversity and freedom of expression. It is in this regard that we developed, through a process of public participation and publicly published our editorial policy to guide our conduct and journalism. We believe that the principles of independence, fairness and balance, as espoused in our editorial policy, are key to promoting the democratic space whilst being mindful of the impact that information in the public space plays in shaping public opinions.

We wish to reassure our readers and stakeholders that we will continue to be committed to media freedom whilst delivering value in line with their expectations.
