Les Afriques is a weekly economical and financial African newspaper. In 2007, it claimed to be the first Pan-African[1] financial newspaper. It is published weekly and is available in almost all French-speaking countries.
History[edit]
The newspaper started its publication in July 2007.[2] Its launch was announced on the French-language TV Journal de Léman bleu and on several specialised African websites.[3]
After a first journal and a necessary period of adaptation using a franchise system,[4] the journal Les Afriques launched local editions for Morocco, Senegal and Cameroon.[5]
Objectives[edit]
In order to balance the views of the "old continent", the journalists are based in Africa (Morocco, Senegal and Algeria) and are highly respected in the African financial community.
