Frontier Africa TV :: Stories out of Africa
Frontier Africa TV
Africa - its people, places, and most pressing issues are our beat.
Across the continent and elsewhere around the world, working in hostile environments and covering the most inaccessible stories is our speciality. As well as Africa's numerous flashpoints, we have reported on conflicts in places as diverse as Afghanistan, Iraq,and Haiti.
Africa though remains our main focus, and we recognize that for too long now it has been depicted as little more than the bad news continent. In response, Frontier Africa TV is keen to engage in stories that celebrate contemporary life and the cultural richness of life from Algeria to South Africa, Sierra Leone to Somalia.
