Editor-in-Chief, Independentist News
29 October 2026
I wish to express my profound and heartfelt gratitude to the Publisher and Editorial Board of Independentist News for the confidence and trust they have placed in me through my appointment as Editor-in-Chief.
I accept this responsibility with deep humility, gratitude and an unwavering commitment to service. I do not take this honour lightly, nor do I regard it merely as a personal achievement. Rather, I see it as a renewed call to duty, greater dedication and principled leadership in the pursuit of truth, justice and responsible journalism.
My sincere appreciation goes to every member of the Editorial Board for recognizing my contributions and entrusting me with this important responsibility. I am particularly grateful for the encouragement, professional guidance and spirit of collaboration that have shaped my journey with the publication.
I recognize that the position of Editor-in-Chief carries enormous responsibilities. Editorial leadership demands integrity, intellectual independence, fairness, sound judgment and the courage to uphold the truth, even when circumstances make doing so difficult or unpopular.
As I assume this role, I pledge to work closely with my colleagues to strengthen the credibility, professionalism and reach of Independentist News. Our collective responsibility is to inform accurately, examine developments critically, provide meaningful perspectives and ensure that the voices and concerns of our people receive the attention they deserve.
I firmly believe that the strength of any publication rests not merely in the authority of its leadership but in the dedication, creativity and collective commitment of its editorial team. I therefore look forward to building upon the foundations already established and encouraging an environment of mutual respect, constructive criticism and journalistic excellence.
To our readers and supporters, I reaffirm my commitment to responsible reporting, thoughtful analysis and the highest attainable standards of editorial integrity.
Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Publisher and Editorial Board for this extraordinary expression of confidence.
The appointment is an honour. The responsibility is a duty. The pursuit of truth remains our guiding principle.
Together, we shall continue the journey with courage, professionalism, unity and purpose.
