The Daily Observer is a newspaper published in Bakau in Banjul, the Gambia. The paper, Gambia's first daily newspaper, was founded by Mae Gene and Kenneth Best in 1990. Kenneth Best had previously managed another paper called the Daily Observer in Liberia, until the First Liberian Civil War caused him to relocate with his family to the Gambia. In October 1994, following Yahya Jammeh's military coup, Best was expelled from Gambia, although the newspaper was allowed to continue. It was eventually shutdown by tax authorities on 23 August 2017 for non-compliance of its tax obligations.

It was eventually shutdown by tax authorities on 23 August 2017 for non-compliance of its tax obligations. In the early 1990s, the paper ran its History Corner on its weekend supplement (the Weekend Observer). The Gambian statesman and historian Alieu Ebrima Cham Joof "pioneered" this column (the History Corner) in 1993 before asking the paper's resident journalist Hassoum Ceesay to take over the column. Ceesay took over it in 1996.Some of the topics covered during the tenure of Cham Joof included: * History Corner with Alhaji A. E Cham Joof, Diamond Jubilee of Scouting in The Gambia, Senegambian Scouting Joint Committee Senegalo/Gambian Katibougou old Scouts (Weekend Observer, 29–31 March 1995. p. 9 (Gambia)) * History Corner with Alhaji A. E Cham Joof, The History of the Banjul Mosque, (Weekend Observer, 5–7 May 1995) (en)
