The Monitor Celebrates 10th Anniversary

Over the last 10 years Monitor has grown in leaps and bounds.  It has become part of the regular reading diet for many people in Botswana and around the world. The Monitor has contributed immensely to the watchdog role of the press in Botswana. It continues to speak to power, defend the powerless and speak on behalf of the voiceless.

When it was conceived the Monitor was meant to fill the gap that existed at the beginning of the week as the only paper that was available then was the government Daily News. A lot happens over the weekend and it used to go unreported. With the Monitor coming out initially on Tuesday, and now on Monday, stories that break over the weekend can be disseminated to the public immediately.
