Work with us
Advertise
Reach readers across Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea and the Horn's diaspora — without interrupting them.
How we handle advertising
Advertising funds the reporting, and it is designed around the reader rather than the impression count. We do not run interstitials, auto-playing video, pop-ups, or units that shift the page while it loads. Empty inventory collapses; we do not fill space for the sake of it.
Advertising has no influence on editorial decisions. Advertisers do not see articles before publication and cannot request that a story be changed or withheld.
Available placements
Header
A single leaderboard beneath the masthead. One advertiser at a time.
Homepage mid-page
Between editorial sections, never inside them.
Sidebar
Alongside trending and newsletter modules on section pages.
In-article
One unit, placed after the body copy rather than inside it.
Footer
A closing leaderboard above the site footer.
Targeting
Campaigns can be placed across the whole platform, or scoped to a country section, a region, or an editorial desk — for example business coverage only, or Djibouti only.
Sponsored content
We accept clearly labelled sponsored articles. They are visually distinct from editorial, carry a permanent sponsorship label, and are excluded from trending and from the homepage lead positions.
