ABOUT INDEPENDENT DIGITAL NEWS NETWORK (IDNN)
A Digital News Authority from the Global South
Independent Digital News Network (IDNN) is a digital-first newsroom operating from Nigeria with continental and international relevance.
We were founded on a clear premise:
the global information ecosystem must include structured, credible, and institutionally disciplined journalism emerging from Africa.
IDNN exists to strengthen that voice.
We are building a newsroom that combines verification, analytical depth, and digital scale — designed not only to inform Nigeria, but to contribute meaningfully to global conversations on governance, economics, security, and sport.
Independent. Digital. Uncompromising.
Our Position in the Information Ecosystem
Independent Digital News Network does not compete on volume.
We compete on structure, clarity, and accountability.
From political reforms in Abuja to economic shifts affecting African markets, from governance oversight to sports governance debates, our reporting connects local developments to regional and international consequence.
Nigeria is our base.
Africa is our context.
The world is our audience.
