| dbo:abstract | Der Windhoek Observer ist eine in Namibia erscheinende unabhängige Wochenzeitung. Englischsprachlich verfasst, wird sie samstags veröffentlicht. Herausgebender Verlag war bis 2009 The Windhoek Observer (Pty) Ltd. Begründet wurde die Zeitung 1978 vom 2008 verstorbenen Journalisten , der der Zeitung einen unkonventionell regierungskritischen, redaktionell provokativen und kontroversen wie einflussreichen Stempel, näherungsweise im Stil eines Boulevardblatts, aufdrückte. Der Slogan der Zeitung war ursprünglich „the paper for the people“ (Die Zeitung für das Volk), wurde aber Anfang der 2000er Jahre in „Setting the Nations Agenda“ (bedeutet so viel wie Festlegung der Tagesordnung des Landes) geändert. (de) Windhoek Observer (en anglais : L'observateur de Windhoek) est un journal hebdomadaire namibien fondé par Hannes Smith en 1978. Il est publié tous les samedis. Il est, en termes de diffusion, le premier journal hebdomadaire et le plus ancien du pays. Le journal a été dirigé par son fondateur Hannes Smith de ses débuts à la mort de ce dernier en 2008. Ensuite sa fille, Yanna Smith, a repris le flambeau quelque temps, Kuvee Kangueehi a pris les rênes du journal. Windhoek Observer a bâti sa renommée par une plume acerbe vis-à-vis de l'occupant Sud-africain jusqu'en 1990, puis, une fois l'indépendance acquise, envers le pouvoir en place, et notamment la SWAPO. Le journal était vendu de 12 000 à 13 000 exemplaires chaque semaine au moment de son rachat par Paragon Investment Holdings, en février 2009. (fr) The Windhoek Observer is an English-language Saturday weekly newspaper, published in Namibia by Paragon Investment Holding. It is the country's oldest and largest circulating weekly. As of 2009 it had a circulation of 12,000 to 13,000 copies. The Windhoek Observer was founded in 1978 by Hannes Smith and Gwen Lister. Lister was the political editor and wanted to give SWAPO, Namibia's liberation movement, "a 'human face', showing the people, including whites, that they were not the 'terrorists' and 'communists' and the 'black threat' that the colonial regime made them out to be through their blanket propaganda." The newspaper was officially banned in May 1984 after Lister travelled to Zambia to report on Namibian independence talks. Though the ban was lifted after an appeal to Pretoria's Publications Appeal Board, Observer management demoted her for having brought it on, triggering Lister's resignation and a walkout of the newspaper's staff. The following year, Lister began a new independent newspaper, The Namibian. Smith then ran the Windhoek Observer as a one-man operation, calling himself "reporter-in-chief". His daughter, Yanna Erasmus, later joined him at the newspaper. Smith adopted a "hard-line editorial stance against those in authority" and "did not bow to the South African nor the SWAPO government." After Smith's death in 2008, Erasmus took over as editor. The following year, the newspaper was sold to Paragon Investment Holding, and Kuvee Kangueehi was appointed editor. (en) Windhoek Observer is een Engelstalig Namibisch weekblad.
