Independent news organization Indigo Publications was founded in Paris in 1981 by journalist Maurice Botbol, who continues to own and run the group to this day. The company publishes five websites and fifteen specialist newsletters, known for their editorially independent news and analysis.
History
Launched in 1981, The Indian Ocean Newsletter was the first Indigo publication, focused on the business interests of East and southern Africa and the Indian Ocean states.
Over the years, the company launched other regional titles including the economic newsletter for Francophone Africa, La Lettre du Continent (and it English equivalent, West Africa Newsletter); the North African newspaper (Maghreb Confidential); and more specialized business publications like Africa Mining Intelligence and Intelligence Online.
In 2007, Indigo acquired La Lettre A, a newsletter established in 1978 that specializes in news and analysis of politics and business in France. In April 2011, Indigo Publications launched Entourages, an online spinoff of La Lettre A that focuses on relationships with France.
