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] The magazine has an independent political stance.[4] As of January 2021, Tsedale Lemma continued as the editor-in-chief of the magazine,[5][2] which is headquartered in Addis Ababa.[6]

Distribution[]

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

Repression[]

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

During the late 2020 Tigray conflict, 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.[8]
