List of newspapers in Sierra Leone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of newspapers in Sierra Leone.

Dozens of newspapers are published in Sierra Leone with 15 daily newspapers operational. Most of the newspapers are privately run and are mostly distributed around the capital of Freetown due to the low levels of literacy within the small western African nation.

Sierra Leone had the first newspaper in West Africa: the Royal Gazette and Sierra Leone Advertiser (a.k.a. the Sierra Leone Gazette) in the early 19th century.[1]
