History and profile

edit

Created in 2005 by Paris-based Jeune Afrique Media Group,[1][non-primary source needed] The Africa Report is edited by Africa Confidential's Patrick Smith. The company also publishes the monthly magazine Jeune Afrique.[2]

The Africa Report launched a website in 2019. It covers the economic, political, and social news of the continent.[citation needed]

Featuring a report by sector and a focus by country, each issue is produced by an independent editorial team led by Nicholas Norbrook, the managing editor since its creation.[3]

With more than one million readers per month, The Africa Report implemented a paywall on its news website in 2021 to complement its quarterly print edition.[4][non-primary source needed]

The Africa Report won the 2006, 2007 and 2012 Diageo Africa Business Reporting Award for Best Media as well as the 2007 award for Best Published Feature.[2]

Following the death of the Group's founder Bechir Ben Yahmed on 3 May 2021, the management of The African Report is under supervision of Nicholas Norbroook.[5][non-primary source needed]
