Le Point Sur is a Ivory Coast–based digital news organization that produces investigative journalism and general news coverage focused primarily on national and West African affairs. Operating as part of the Shanny News group, the outlet publishes in French and aims to hold public actors to account through in‑depth reports, dossiers and thematic investigations alongside routine political, economic, social and cultural reporting. Its audience consists mainly of Ivorian readers and members of the Ivorian diaspora seeking investigative treatment of local issues and practical news about governance, development, agriculture and human‑interest stories.
Since its founding in the early 2010s, Le Point Sur has positioned itself as a prize‑winning digital newsroom at the national level: its team and contributors have been shortlisted for, and have won, sector awards recognising reporting on agro‑industry, human rights and anti‑corruption investigations. The outlet’s editorial work has been cited in national media award listings and in sector reports about Ivory Coast’s digital press.
Le Point Sur is characterized by a mixed output of long-form investigations, field reporting and regular news updates. The organization emphasizes local reporting capacity and collaboration with journalists and editors working from its Abidjan/Yopougon base. It is also notable for ties to public figures active in civic and cultural life; locally visible recognition and awards have helped raise its profile among Ivorian online news brands. While primarily a national outlet, Le Point Sur’s investigative pieces and dossiers are aimed at readers and stakeholders across West Africa with interests in governance, agriculture, development and social issues.
