Timbuktu Media seeks to provide news and information fairly and accurately to the Nigerian public, the African Continent, and Africans around the world. We aim to do this in a way that serves the public purpose and ensures compatibility with the demands of an open and democratic society. In doing so, the company hopes to serve a high civic function as well as generate adequate financial returns for its shareholders.

The company has been designed as an integrated media platform which combines the traditional newspaper with a news and information service to mobile devices, the Internet, radio, as well as other broadcast and digital platforms.

There are three divisions:

* Timbuktu Media Publishing

* Timbuktu Printing & Logistics

* Timbuktu Media Broadcasting

We have a commitment to produce content of the highest standards. We will take risks in the way that we create and present our content, and we welcome feedback from our readers and constituents so that we continuously improve our offering.

Because we are accountable to our shareholders, we have implemented sound policies and procedures to ensure that we run an efficient and cost-effective operation, with a goal to limit the volume of bureaucracy that normally stifles decision-making.

In addition to being tangibly present in our communities and contributing in some way to the development of Nigeria – not only through discourse but also through our extended support of community initiatives, education, the arts, culture, and health - building the local capacity of our young people is a key goal of Timbuktu Media.

Timbuktu Media was founded in 2004 by Dele Olojede, Africa’s first Pulitzer Prize winner and former Foreign Editor of New York Newsday. Dele’s career spans three continents and some 85 countries, and his work has appeared in more than 100 of the world’s leading newspapers and magazines. Dele serves as the CEO and Publisher of the group.

Timbuktu Media is primarily institution-funded along with a small group of private investors. These private investors have no say in the editorial policy or direction of the company, which is in the hands of highly accomplished editors and business executives.
