Science et Société is a francophone West African media outlet dedicated to science journalism and public understanding of research. Originating as the Journal Scientifique et Technique du Mali (JSTM), it rebranded in 2024 to reflect a broader regional mandate. The newsroom covers how science intersects with daily life across Ivory Coast, Mali and neighboring countries, focusing on health, environment, agriculture, technology, education and economic development. Reporters produce investigations, explanatory features and field reporting, and package stories in multimedia formats, including SS TV videos on subjects such as sickle‑cell disease and malaria vaccination. The outlet also assembles thematic dossiers and special reports, and tracks research policy, university initiatives and funding trends in the region. Science et Société works closely with researchers and public institutions as sources and collaborators, translating complex findings for non‑specialist audiences and countering misinformation. Its team participates in professional forums such as the World Conference of Science Journalists, where it has highlighted francophone West Africa’s experience in building science desks and training journalists. Through consistent, beat‑driven coverage and links with academic networks, Science et Société aims to make credible, accessible science reporting part of the mainstream news diet in West Africa, connecting laboratories and classrooms to communities and decision‑makers.
