Ethiopian Newspapers Online

Ethiopia has one of Africa's most dynamic and rapidly evolving media landscapes, reflecting the country's position as the continent's second most populous nation with over 120 million people and Africa's fastest-growing major economy. Ethiopian journalism publishes primarily in Amharic — Africa's second most widely spoken indigenous language — alongside a strong English-language press and publications in Oromo, Tigrinya, Somali, and dozens of other languages reflecting Ethiopia's extraordinary ethnic and linguistic diversity.

Among the most widely read Ethiopian newspapers online is the Ethiopian Reporter, the country's leading independent newspaper publishing in both English and Amharic. Addis Fortune is the essential English business weekly, while Addis Standard is respected for investigative digital journalism. The state broadcaster EBC and private Fana Broadcasting are the dominant TV channels. Internationally, BBC Amharic and VOA Amharic are among the most trusted news sources. In sports, Ethiopian long-distance runners are among the world's greatest — followed via Ethio Sports and World Athletics.
