Local Media

Both the national press and the television stations are state-controlled and offer little criticism of the government and scant coverage of the opposition.

There are no English-language papers and just one national daily newspaper - Le Jour. There are a number of local private newspapers that publish weekly (or more sporadically) in Conakry; these tend to be more critical of the government. These include:

• Le Diplomate
• L'Enqueteur
• Le Lynx
• La Nouvelle Tribune
• L'Observateu
• Le Populaire

The state-run Radiodiffusion-Television Guineenne (RTG) is the only TV station available. RTG also broadcasts radio programmes in French, English and vernacular languages. There are also a number of private radio stations, including:

• Familia FM
• Liberte FM
• Radio Nostalgie Guinea
• Soleil FM
