About Premium Times
Premium Times is an independent Nigerian online newspaper, founded in 2011 by veteran investigative journalist Dapo Olorunyomi, who serves as its publisher and CEO. It is published by Premium Times Services Limited, with Nasiru Abubakar Abdullahi as Chairman. The outlet's founding vision emphasizes strengthening democracy, promoting good governance, transparency, and human rights.
Media Bias/Fact Check and Ground News rate Premium Times as left-center biased, noting its focus on governance, accountability, and human rights, often scrutinizing center-right political figures. The outlet is recognized for its investigative journalism, having received a Pulitzer Prize for its role in the Panama Papers investigation and a Global Shining Light Award. Premium Times has faced accusations of bias from government officials and legal action from the Nigerian Army over its reporting. Additionally, it has experienced cyberattacks and intimidation of its journalists, particularly after publishing sensitive reports, which aligns with the challenging press freedom environment in Nigeria where journalists face harassment and arrests.
