For embassies, development organisations, investors and multinationals, Social Light tracks what African media is saying about you, your projects and your sector, in every market you work in, and reports it in English.
Global monitoring platforms index the large international and national outlets well, and miss much of what decides a story locally: community radio, regional weeklies, local-language coverage and the social groups where a story starts. Our analysts read that coverage in its original language and context, and tell you what it means.
