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. The magazine has an independent political stance.[3] Tsedale Lemma was the editor-in-chief of the magazine,[2] which is headquartered in Addis Ababa.[4]

Distribution

Addis Standard is distributed in Ghana, Burundi and South Sudan in addition to its native country, Ethiopia.[4]

Repression

Addis Standard discontinued its print edition in October 2016[2] in response to censorship, while continuing to publish online.[5] It resumed a monthly print edition in 2018.

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.[6]
