About Fraternité Matin
Fraternité Matin was established on December 9, 1964, by President Félix Houphouët-Boigny and is a state-controlled Ivorian newspaper. It is owned by the Groupe Fraternité Matin, a state-owned media organization, and its directors-general are appointed by the president.
While Fraternité Matin describes itself as 'neither neutral nor partisan,' it is widely considered a 'hardcore governmental organ' since its founding. Press freedom in Côte d'Ivoire is closely tied to the political environment, with political parties and leaders exerting considerable influence on the media. Most national media, including newspapers, exhibit partisanship, often favoring the government or the opposition. Journalists in the country have raised concerns about government attempts to control the profession, and some resort to self-censorship. State-owned media are criticized for not being fair and balanced.
