One of my New Year's resolutions is to make sure I'm financially supporting great reporting on African issues. Here's a quick thread about three great news sites I've subscribed to, plus three bonus sites which are free! /1
The Republic ( @republicjournal) offers essential reading about key social and economic issues across the continent, with a strong focus on Nigeria as well. Subscribe: https://republic.com.ng/subscribe/ /2
Quartz Africa ( @qzafrica) is great for business and technology news that you won't find covered elsewhere. Become a member: https://qz.com/subscribe/email/ /3
For deep dives on Francophone African news, @jeune_afrique is the place to be. Subscribe: https://www.jeuneafrique.com/jeune-afrique-digital/
And now the bonus free sites! The Elephant ( @theelephantinfo) is focused on East Africa, but does offer thoughtful analysis of news from across the continent as well. https://www.theelephant.info/ /5
African Arguments ( @africaarguments) is surely familiar to all of you, but it's hard to beat for breadth of content. https://africanarguments.org/ /6
Finally, The Conversation Africa ( @TC_Africa) is providing a real public good with its articles which translate academic research into accessible journalism. https://theconversation.com/africa /7
What other Africa-focused news sources do you love? Would love to hear other recommendations! /end
