Recognized by legal deposit no. 15040 dated 30 August 2018, the outlet covers national affairs with a mix of reporting, analysis and commentary. Its coverage spans politics, the economy, society and crime, international developments, culture and sports, with technology pieces under a “TICs” banner. The newsroom runs opinion columns and editorials that examine governance and public debate, while photo-led features and video pieces broaden its storytelling. Sports coverage follows national teams and Ivorian athletes, while culture pieces track books, music and local events. Recurring sections structure the output: “Titrologie” compiles front‑page headlines from Ivorian dailies, “Le chiffre” highlights a telling statistic, and “Arrêt sur image” dissects news photographs. The director of publication and legal representative is Gougou Kacou Firmin, and the editor‑in‑chief is Tché Bi Tché. Based in Cocody–Angré in Abidjan, the publication serves readers following Ivory Coast’s political life, social issues and cultural scene. Les Sentinelles d'Abidjan combines original reporting from its staff with selected agency material, including African Media Agency releases, to reflect developments in Ivory Coast and across the region.
