Read the editions in context.

Official public source

This page summarises the country highlights on mediafactsbook.com, reviewed on 15 October 2026. It is a summary of the public 2024 edition, with links to the original country sections.

Comparing years

The 2024 website and the supplied 2025 extract can differ in monitoring coverage, reporting periods and historical totals. Ghana’s 2024 public total differs from the historical figure in the 2025 extract. Cameroon and Senegal also show large differences. Treat these as separately reported edition figures; a like-for-like growth comparison needs reconciliation.

Currencies and scope

Figures remain in local currencies: NGN for Nigeria, GHS for Ghana, XAF for Cameroon and XOF for Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal and Mali. The original website uses the franc symbol; currency labels are clarified here by country. Audience reach and spending shares are labelled separately. No regional total is calculated.
