Moment Media Ethics
Moment Independent Journalism from a Somali Perspective
The Moment Mission
Moment Magazine, dedicated to serious, highly-literate, intellectual journalism, provides the Somali community and other readers with a much needed independent forum that is not tied to any organization or point-of-view. Moment strives to counteract Tribalism, and encourage constructive, meaningful discussion about Somali history, life and future.
What Makes Moment Different?
So you’re wondering what makes Moment different from all other Somali magazines? Good question. Most magazines that report about the world from a Somali perspective are eager to tell you what to think. These publications are either published by an organization motivated by an agenda or led by a person with strong opinions who wants to influence you. At Moment, we’re independent and fiercely devoted to bringing you only the highest quality journalism. We want you to give you the facts—in context—so you can make up your own mind. In an era, where the Somali community (and the world) is pulling in a million different directions, Moment brings us together—and celebrates our diversity.
What our readers say about us:
“More than anything else I read, Moment illuminates the issues of our Somali moment in time. It is irreverent and willing to take on the difficult subjects that impact us.”
“What I love about Moment is that it tells me we are all in the same boat, even if we have different oars.”
”At a time when so much of the Somali community is pulling in different directions, with Moment I am reminded of the fascination of being Somali.”
“Moment is my way to connect Pan-Somalism. I don’t belong to a Tribalism, but yet Moment makes me feel part of the Somali community.”
Moment is equally interesting no matter what kind of Somali you are.”
”This year I gave Moment as a gift to all of the young Somali . It is a way for them to read interesting modern Somali ideas and discussions even if they are not otherwise connected with Somali community.”
”I always enjoy reading Moment, even when I disagree with it.”
“Moment makes me proud to be Somalo.”
“I love the fact that Moment is independent. I really appreciate reading a spectrum of political opinions and understanding where other Somali are coming from.”

”What a beautiful magazine!”
