Veteran journo and award winning editor, Geoff Nyarota ‘s news website has finally hit cyberspace after a short delay.Nyarota, who needs no introduction in Zimbabwean media and politics is currently in exile in the USA.
Here is the news website’s mission statement.

The Zimbabwe Times will provide a superior, reliable and credible medium for the dissemination of news and information on Zimbabwe. An audience based inside Zimbabwe as well as outside, in the vast Diaspora, will be targeted. A team of credible and well-respected Zimbabwean journalists and writers will contribute well-researched, well-sourced and well-written articles.

Relying on in-depth investigation into issues and analysis of events, as well as trail-blazing and courageous journalism Zimbabwe Times will publish news without fear or favour. Quality, fairness, independence, public and national interest, as well as relevance will be the cornerstones of editorial policy.

The publication will not be beholden to any sectoral interests, whether, political, business, social, religious, ethnic or racial.The Zimbabwe Times will provide a highly reliable and credible source of news and information to Zimbabwean citizens as well as non-Zimbabweans with a legitimate interest in the wellbeing, progress and success of the nation.

Accordingly, The Zimbabwe Times will always strive to be a respected, respectable and influential player on Zimbabwe’s political, economic and social landscape. The Zimbabwe Times will always endeavour to rally the Zimbabwean community together to form a united front in their ongoing pursuit of democracy, justice, fairness, good governance and economic development.

The publication will keep news-starved Zimbabweans adequately informed on matters of public interest, however sensitive or provocative. The quest to keep Zimbabweans well informed is motivated by a genuine belief that peace, sustainable development and economic prosperity are the final destiny of our beautiful and fair country.The Zimbabwe Times will conduct its business at the highest professional and ethical level possible, while providing the advertising community with a dependable and reputable medium through which to market or promote their commodities, products or
services.

A report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), which was launched one year, to the day before The Zimbabwe Times.com was launched, found that hundreds of Zimbabwean journalists live in exile in South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States where they work to continue investigative reporting. Exiled journalists often struggle to get accurate, investigative information due to resources, distance and government control inside the country, the report found.
