About GMT News

GMT News — Good Morning Timor-Leste — is an independent digital news outlet based in Dili, dedicated to delivering accurate, timely, and fair reporting on the stories that matter most to the people of Timor-Leste and beyond.

Founded in 2024, GMT News was built on the belief that Timor-Leste deserves a modern, professional news platform that serves its readers in English, Portuguese, and Tetum — and holds power to account regardless of political pressure.

Our Mission

We exist to inform, educate, and empower. Our team of reporters and editors covers national politics, economy, health, environment, culture, sport, and international affairs — with a focus on Timor-Leste's place in Southeast Asia and the world.

Editorial Independence

GMT News is independently owned and operates without government or political party funding. Our editorial decisions are made entirely by our journalists and editors, free from outside influence. We adhere to strict journalistic standards and correct errors promptly and transparently.
