What Tchadinfos does

Tchadinfos is a privately held Chadian multimedia news media company headquartered in N'Djamena, Chad, operating under the legal entity Tchadinfos.com S.A.R.L. Founded on June 1, 2012, the company began as an online news platform and has positioned itself as the first private Chadian media outlet for continuous news coverage, serving Chadian citizens and the diaspora. Its portfolio now spans the Tchadinfos.com website, Tchadinfos TV (launched 2023, distributed via YouTube), Tchadinfos FM (launched 2023), an email newsletter, on-demand podcasts, and interactive features including comments, polls, surveys, and forums. Content is published across eight editorial categories — Politics, Society, Economy, International, Sport, Technology, Health, and Culture — and distributed through Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and WhatsApp to maximize reach.

The underlying technology stack is a WordPress-based content management system hosted on Amazon Web Services, with audience measurement via Google Analytics and monetization enabled through Google Ads and Meta Pixel advertising integrations. There is no proprietary technology, no mobile app, no AI/ML component, and no API or SDK product layer. The platform provides free access to all content and does not operate a paywall or subscription tier.

The business model is advertising-driven. Tchadinfos monetizes its audience through display banner advertising and sponsored content on its web properties, with revenue flows intermediated by Google Ads and Meta Pixel rather than direct advertiser relationships. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent company, and no public listing. Madjissembaye Ngarndinon serves as Director of Publication, and the editorial charter emphasizes independence from political, economic, and community influence. With 36 employees and operations concentrated in Chad, Tchadinfos is a small, owner-operated media business whose growth is constrained by the limited ad market of one of the world's lowest-GDP economies.
