Addis Standard

Addis Standard is an Ethiopian news media magazine published by Jakenn Publishing Plc. It was established in February 2011 by Tsedale Lemma, who became its editor-in-chief in January 2021.

The magazine is not owned or affiliated with any political party or the government, and is registered to The Ministry of Trade and Industry of Ethiopia under license 1552/2003.

 Publication and challenges 
Addis Standard publishes news to Ethiopia, South Africa, Burundi and Ghana. In 2016 the Ethiopian government forced the Standard to stop publishing in print, but it continued to publish online. Two years later, when a new Prime Minister was elected, the Standard started publishing in print again.

In 2020 one of the Standard's reporters, Medihane Ekubamichael, was detained for reporting in Tigray amidst a war in northern Ethiopia. He was later freed. Addis Standard was also suspended during the early stages of the Tigray war by the Ethiopian Media Authority.
