Public Trust Media Group (PTMG)

Is PTMG a business?
Yes, it is a business but one with a marked difference—a big public focus where the entire nation and the audience is considered our business partners: to provide a public platform for the exchange of views in a fair and professional manner; irrespective of race, creed, ethnicity or socio-political and economic affiliations.

We are dedicated to promoting responsible, open and frank exchange of ideas–to agree to disagree, through dialogue and not antagonism with malice to no one.

Although no business can survive without profit, profit for PTMG is not our exclusive concern; granted that to adequately serve the public interest, we must be able to break even.

However in so doing, we shall not negate our public service and loose the public trust principally for profit motive. Ours is an entity that sees itself as a private creature with a public heart.

Our success shall not only be measured by the thickness of our balance sheet, but also by the height and depth of the public trust that is measured through the quality of our service to the public.

This entity is conceived as one growing incrementally into a sizable/large, manageable and modern multimedia outfit. Its various components work in harmony under the supervision of the Managing Partners, who shall be career media people.

Vision:
Blending the rich experience of the past with the present to build a brighter future

Mission: We are on a mission with a vision to serving the public good with integrity, through credible, accurate, reliable, fair, balance and courageous coverage of the news in real time.
