Cameroon news, front pages compared

Crosswire lays Cameroon's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. All 4 titles tracked in Cameroon sit near the editorial centre in our classification, which is common where the press is dominated by public broadcasters and agencies, or where no confident left/right rating was available. Comparison here is less about political line than about which stories each newsroom judges worth the top of the page.

By kind of outlet, the 4 titles break down as 2 digital-native outlets (Journal du Cameroun and Cameroon News Agency), 1 daily newspaper (Cameroon Tribune) and 1 public broadcaster (CRTV). The public-service broadcaster is CRTV — the natural fixed point for a comparison, because a public remit is breadth rather than a party line.

Cameroon sits in Central Africa, on Crosswire's Africa hub. By outlets tracked it is 2nd of the 7 countries in Central Africa and 14th of the 45 across Africa, where the average is 4 outlets per country. Its neighbours in Central Africa with hubs of their own are DR Congo (4), Chad (4), Gabon (4), Burundi (4), Republic of the Congo (3) and Central African Republic (3).
