About us

StarNews is a media platform allowing content creators to monetize their fanbase in Africa, the world’s most promising continent. Demand for content is high among Africa’s tens of millions of young people, but data is expensive and quickly spent on most platforms. We partner with the biggest telecom companies to provide exclusive video content directly to mobile users and allow them to benefit from micro billing on their mobile wallets for a better experience.
