SomaliSignal is a revolutionary online media publication solely focused on “analytical journalism” with the central aim of breaking down complex issues in Somalia to create understanding in the Somali community both at home and abroad. For readers, breaking news can be problematic: sometimes there is a lack of context in the story, and sometimes it is hard to distinguish facts from rumours and misinformation.

As an organization, we aim to give context surrounding a piece of news when it is currently happening. We intend to inform the reader of the background stories leading up to the breaking news. We hire professional and qualified journalists to filter through the noise quickly and ensure the information they share is verified to keep a trustworthy relationship with the audience.
