## About

AllAfrica mostly carries other people's journalism. Around six hundred items a day arrive from more than ninety African newsrooms and several hundred institutions, republished in full at AllAfrica addresses with the publisher's name tucked inside a bracket at the head of the summary. It knows which of those partners are state-owned, labels them on pages almost nobody reads, and strips the label out before the feed goes anywhere.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** AllAfrica Global Media, Inc., a private United States company headquartered in Washington DC and incorporated in 2000 by Amadou Mahtar Ba, Tami Hultman and Reed Kramer with what the company describes as primarily African angel investment. Ba is executive chair. Offices are listed in Dakar, Cape Town, Nairobi, Abuja, Johannesburg and Washington. Its lineage runs back to the non-profit Africa News Service.
- **Funding:** Commercial: display advertising, premium subscriptions and archive access, sponsored content distribution, and wholesale licensing into LexisNexis, Factiva, Bloomberg, Moody's NewsEdge and similar services. Terms of any revenue sharing with partner publishers are not disclosed.
- **Focus areas:** Pan-African news across governance, conflict and security, health, economy and business, law and corruption, environment, education and displacement, with its own reporting concentrated in health and pan-African policy.


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
