Mauritius has one of the Indian Ocean's most vibrant and multilingual newspaper industries, with a media landscape as diverse as the island's extraordinary cultural mosaic — a nation of African, Indian, Chinese, and European heritage that publishes primarily in French and English, with Mauritian Creole widely spoken in broadcast media. Serving 1.3 million people on an island that consistently ranks as Africa's most developed and prosperous nation, Mauritius's press reflects a sophisticated democratic society with a thriving financial services and tourism sector.
L'Express (est. 1963) and Le Mauricien (est. 1908) are the two pillars of Mauritian French journalism. MBC is the national public broadcaster in French, English and Creole. ION News leads in digital news. For business, Business Magazine is essential and the Stock Exchange of Mauritius (SEM) provides official market data — significant for Africa's most important financial centre outside South Africa. The MFA covers the national football team.
