Eburnie Today is an independent digital newsroom from Ivory Coast that focuses on investigative journalism and systematic fact‑checking. Founded as a small, volunteer‑driven newsroom in 2016, it produces investigative reports, data‑led analyses, fact‑checks and feature stories covering politics, society, environment, economy, health and technology. The organization emphasizes editorial independence from political and economic influence and describes its mission as positioning itself as a leading pure‑player of investigation and fact verification in the Ivorian media landscape.
Its editorial work combines rapid “quick‑check” verifications, longer investigative pieces and data‑driven checks to counter misinformation and document public‑interest stories (land and environmental disputes, public health, governance and electoral topics). The newsroom engages in capacity building and partnerships—participating in accelerator and training initiatives—and cites collaboration with regional media development programs to strengthen investigative and fact‑checking practice. Content is distributed through digital articles, newsletters and multimedia formats aimed primarily at francophone Ivorian and West African audiences as well as policy stakeholders and civic actors seeking verified information.
Eburnie Today’s stated values are independence, engagement, determination, ethics and integrity. The outlet has built a reputation locally for tracking and debunking viral claims, documenting environmental and land issues, and producing explanatory dossiers ahead of major civic events. Operating as a small, mission‑led media organization, it continues to develop a business model and newsroom capacity while maintaining a pronounced focus on accountability journalism and information integrity in Ivory Coast.
