PRINT ADVERTISING IN ALGERIA
PRINT ADVERTSING IN ALGERIA
Empire can help place your advertisement in the best national and local publications to ensure great reach and high recall from the Algerian readers.Algeria’s once-vibrant press – French-language titles like El Watan and Liberte and the high-circulation Arabic dailies Echorouk and El Khabar – has contracted steeply, with print runs falling heavily as readers moved online. A defining feature is the state agency ANEP, which holds a monopoly over public-sector advertising and remains many papers’ financial lifeline. Advertisers should treat print as a targeted channel for older, loyal readerships rather than scale.
With a mix of broad mass and a range of highly niche publications, Empire is able to offer print ad campaigns that are specific to your needs and guaranteed to reach your target audience.

What affects the cost of print advertising in Algeria?
Rates vary by title and its circulation, the size and colour of the ad, its placement in the paper, and the number of insertions. Front-section and full-colour positions cost more than smaller mono placements inside the title. Choosing Arabic or French dailies also influences pricing. The Empire provides tailored quotes matched to your audience and budget.
Which newspapers reach which audiences in Algeria?

Combining Arabic and French titles lets advertisers cover both broad-market and influential decision-maker audiences across the country.
