Addis Standard is an Ethiopian monthly social, economic and political news magazine published[1][2] and distributed by Jakenn Publishing Plc, and was established in February 2011 by Tsedale Lemma,[3] who is also the editor-in-chief of the magazine as of January 2021.[4][2] The magazine has an independent political stance,[5] and is headquartered in Addis Ababa.[6]

Distribution

[edit]

Addis Standard is distributed in Ghana, Burundi and South Sudan in addition to its native country, Ethiopia.[6]

Repression

[edit]

Addis Standard discontinued its print edition in October 2016[2] in response to censorship, while continuing to publish online.[7][8] It resumed a monthly print edition in 2018.[citation needed]

During the Tigray War, one of the Addis Standard editors involved in covering Tigray Region, Medihane Ekubamichael, was detained for a month. He was freed in early December 2020.[9] In 2021 the media regulatory of the Ethiopian government had suspended Addis Standard, but later the suspension was withdrawn by the government.[10][11][12][13]
