  • The Zambian Watchdog is an investigative online media platform that focusses on corruption and other major crimes such as drug trafficking in Zambia. It also contains breaking news on politics and major events in Zambia. The Zambian Watchdog was founded as a newspaper with an online edition, but was forced into exile in 2009 and subsequently closed its printed newspaper. Journalists for the newspaper operate undercover and anonymously in Zambia, but the editors lived in exile due to threats on their lives. Its official site and multiple linking pages to the posts have been censored inside Zambia by the government, restricting the human right of freedom of speech.
