Welcome to

The National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) releases its highly anticipated State of Media Report which paints a disturbing picture of a journalism profession under siege on multiple fronts.

The report describes how state and non-state actors wage concerted campaigns to repress journalists and violate their rights with impunity, reflecting a total disregard for media freedom in Somalia.

Let's empower and engage Somali Journalism

The National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) is a national labor union representing over 600 of Somalia’s 1000 journalists, who established or joined the union in order to uphold and defend their interests, needs and rights cooperatively and deal with employers, authorities and other sectors in the society collectively. NUSOJ is a fervent champion for media freedom, the rights of journalists, workers’ rights and for social justice in Somalia.
