Today, the newspaper celebrates its 10th anniversary by publishing a reflective edition of the journey so far — that’s
a special look back not only examining the paper’s history and what the paper stands for but
the history of the country during that period.
For a decade since NewsDay hit the streets, quickly breaking new ground in local news reporting — the country’s largest independent daily paper has been daring, innovative and breaking barriers.
Computer technology was a world away when the first edition of NewsDay rolled of the printing press, but today our digital platforms have the biggest audiences in the country due to our unique content.
Newspapers all over the world have been reducing or closing down their print operations for many years now in the inexorable march of progress towards an online future, and the COVID-19 pandemic has hastened that process;readers cannot get out to buy their newspapers, advertisers have no functioning businesses to advertise.
As one would expect of any newspaper, we have chosen to mark the event with — content; in this case, the significant events that have had the most impact on the Zimbabwean landscape if not the world in the past 10 years, and how we covered those events.
