Bahraini youngster breaks new ground:
Instagram
Hi GDN - long time follower, first time complainer - some of the things you post are not appropriate for a news source, especially since you’re the only credible English newspaper in the country.
Of course, it’s great that this young lady received a certificate but how is this even something you thought of posting? This isn’t the first time you have posted things like this, and I have many times heard in passing ‘are GDN really posting this!’
As someone who respects this news source I felt the need to inform you it is making you lose your credibility as a channel people go to for news and people have ended up not subscribing. These posts are not just on Instagram which is a different audience but on LinkedIn as well which is a more professional and business-oriented market. You tend to post these type of stories frequently that are not newsworthy. Sometimes it’s better not to post anything than post for the sake of it when you claim to be ‘the voice of Bahrain’.

Associate Editor’s note:
Dear thebathingduck, whilst I bow down to your impeccable news sense, the GDN will proudly continue to highlight and celebrate the successes of Bahrainis and expat residents in print, online and across our social media platforms.
It appears to be working - our online subscriptions continue to grow.
