CI News is an Abidjan-based digital newsroom focused on Ivory Coast and wider African affairs. Launched in 2014, the outlet publishes in French and is produced by the Ivorian media company CINEWS, headquartered in the Plateau district. The organization operates the French-language news portal Cotedivoire.News. Its reporting spans national politics, the economy, justice and public services, alongside culture, sport and everyday life. The team works with contributors in Ivory Coast and across the region—including Kenya, Burkina Faso and Senegal—as well as in France, Belgium and Quebec, to follow cross‑border stories and the Ivorian diaspora.
Beyond daily headlines, CI News runs explainers, rankings and feature series, offers space for comment and analysis, and invites audience submissions and tips. It also produces video segments and occasional live programming, and maintains social channels to reach audiences on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and other platforms. While its core audience is in Ivory Coast, the newsroom serves francophone readers across West and Central Africa.
The organization publishes service journalism on topics such as consumer issues and mobile services, and tracks public policy debates from election administration to telecom regulation. Its coverage aims to provide accessible context for general readers while keeping a close eye on developments that affect life in Ivory Coast—from the Abidjan metropolitan area to the country’s regional capitals.
