OUR VALUES
Independent journalism, empowering your decisions.
Facts on the frontline
At Indigo Publications, we believe in the value of independent investigative journalism and its strategic impact. Just as artisans craft one-of-a-kind objects, we have been bringing original and exclusive stories to our readers for the past 45 years. We unearth the facts and reveal their true significance—hence our tagline: "Facts on the frontline".
Our company is human-centric, championing autonomy and proactive thinking among our teams. We empower our journalists to cultivate their own expertise, unique perspectives and network. From this blend of distinct personalities stems our capacity to produce uniquely rich publications.
Deciphering power plays
Our publication dive into highly insular sectors to reveal otherwise inaccessible information.
Our goal is to decipher the inner workings of power and influence. The strategic information we uncover—designed for a discerning readership—is exclusive, hard-hitting and independent.
A global outlook
To guarantee information that is informed by the realities on the ground, our editorial teams collaborate with an unparalleled network of international correspondents working in Africa, Europe, the Americas and Asia.
Africa Intelligence, Intelligence Online and Glitz's investigations are published in both French and English, allowing a global community of high-level decision makers to access strategic information.
Total independence
Our total financial independence ensures our editorial independence. Indigo Publications is entirely owned by its management, refuses all advertising and takes part in neither consulting nor events. Our readers are our only clients.
Indigo Publications, founded in 1981 by Maurice Botbol and currently run by Quentin Botbol, draws on a foundation of significant investments and growth to continue its development. To ensure economic transparency, we publish our financial statements every year. In 2024, due to a boom in our number of readers, our revenues rose by 10% to €10.2 million.
Our timeline
Indigo Publications is a pioneering figure for online publications. We launched Intelligence Online—the digital version of the print newsletter Le Monde du Renseignement—in 1995. In the years since, all of our publications have transitioned to being 100% online. Our digitalisation process began as early as 1992, meaning our readers have access to over 40 years of archives.
