Afrik.com is a francophone pan‑African digital news organization founded in April 2000 by journalists Antoine Ganne and Olivier Zegna Rata. It publishes daily reporting, analysis and interviews on politics, business, culture and sport across the continent and its diaspora. From its early years as a pioneer among francophone pure‑players, Afrik.com built a network of staff and correspondents across Africa; by 2025 its archive counted around 50,000 articles produced by the newsroom and its stringers. The outlet is published by Nouveaux Monde from Abidjan, Ivory Coast, with Abubakr Diallo as editor‑in‑chief. Historically based in Paris, the organization has developed pan‑regional coverage that treats North and sub‑Saharan Africa within a single editorial frame.
Afrik.com is known for thematic dossiers, field reporting and occasional investigations, as well as sustained attention to music, film and popular culture. The project drew early support from prominent media and cultural figures, including Hervé Bourges and Manu Dibango, who participated in its editorial committees. Over time it has been described as the first francophone pan‑African daily on the internet, a role reflected in its mix of hard news, explanatory pieces and exclusive interviews. While francophone readers in Europe remain an important audience segment, the platform’s purpose is to report Africa for African and global publics with independence, range and an insistence on stories overlooked by mainstream European outlets.
