Infocentrale is an independent Ivorian digital news organisation focused on regional and national reporting. It produces daily news articles, investigative dossiers, press releases, reportages and videos across beats such as politics, society, economy, health, education, technology, culture and sports. The outlet prioritises coverage of interior regions and local affairs, while also reporting on national political developments and international items affecting Ivory Coast. Infocentrale operates a multimedia offering that includes written journalism, photo-reportage and video programming branded as InfocentraleTV. Its editorial activities emphasise local sourcing and on-the-ground reporting by correspondents and contributors from multiple Ivorian regions. Leadership and editorial direction are associated with journalist Lediehi (Christ) Kémondé, who is described on the organisation’s pages as its director and public representative. The organisation has positioned itself as a regional digital leader: it has received recognition at national media awards (including a PNCI regional digital-media award and a Plume d’Or “Prix d’Excellence” in 2024) and has announced capacity-building initiatives and plans to expand its mobile and video services. Infocentrale also runs special dossier series and investigation pieces and organises training for its staff to strengthen reporting standards ahead of high-stakes national events. Target audiences include Ivorian readers seeking regional news, civic stakeholders and Francophone audiences interested in interior-voiced reporting. Its combination of regional focus, multimedia output and award recognition marks it as a notable actor in Ivory Coast’s digital press landscape.
