Controversies
On 22 August 2008, police arrested the editor of The Reporter, Amare Aregawi, in Gondar, in connection with an article that criticised Dashen Brewery's, a local beer brand, labour practices. He was held in custody for six days after a defamation lawsuit was filed against the newspaper by the brewery in a Gondar court.[6]
