The Africa Report is a pan-African English-language bimonthly magazine, covering politics, economy, society and culture, published by the Paris-based Groupe Jeune Afrique. For over 50 years, Groupe Jeune Afrique has been the leading pan-African press group, with their flagship news weeklyJeune Afrique. With an international circulation of 65,000 and a readership of around 300,000, The Africa Report's success among the African and international business, diplomatic and institutional community since its launch as an annual publication in 2004, led it to grow first to a quarterly and then to a bimonthly in just four years. Editor-in-chief, Patrick Smith, is one of the world's leading Africa journalists. A regular commentator on the BBC, he has edited the political and economic insider newsletter Africa Confidential since 1992. The Africa Report calls upon the finest African and international journalists, renowned specialists on the continent's politics, economy, industry and governance. In-the-field writers report from every region to guarantee in-depth, on-the-ground reportage. Company profiles and CEO interviews, as well as essential maps and data, complete the editorial offer that has been praised as a reliable factual source by decision-makers and investors active in Africa. In recognition of this journalistic excellence, The Africa Report has twice won the Diageo Africa Business Reporting Award for "Best Publication", as well as the award for "Best Published Feature".
