Profile[edit]
Addis Zeybe was established in 2018 by Abel Wabella, co-founder of the Zone 9 Bloggers, a blogging collective from Ethiopia. First launched as a weekly newspaper, Addis Zeybe re-established itself as a digital media platform following financial challenges and distribution constraints.[1][2]
Based in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, the media platform produces content both in Amharic and English. It partners with international media development institutions such as MDIF and BBC Media Action to support its work.[3]
Affiliated with Addis Zeybe is a multilingual fact-checking initiative called HaqCheck which counters disinformation in the Ethiopian media.[4][5]
