Mission

The oromia media network (omn) is an independent, nonprofit news enterprise whose mission is to produce original and citizen-driven reporting on oromia, the largest and most populous state in ethiopia. Omn seeks to offer thought-provoking, contextual, and nuanced coverage of critical public interest issues thereby bringing much needed attention to under-reported stories in the region. Our goal is to create a strong and sustainable multilingual newsroom that will serve as a reliable source of information about the oromo people, the ethiopian state, and the greater horn of africa region.
