Media regulation in Guinea

Overview

In Guinea, media regulation has focused on both disciplinary actions and financial oversight. In late July 2026, the Haute Autorité de la Communication (HAC) banned the web-TV Dinguiraye TV and revoked the professional press card of its founder, Ibrahima Diakité. The regulator cited the illegal operation of the station and the unauthorized use of students as reporters.

By late August 2026, the HAC expanded its administrative focus to include financial accountability. President Boubacar Yacine Diallo requested that press associations submit detailed financial reports regarding the use of 2025 subsidies. These reports, covering expenditures and supporting documentation, are required to facilitate the request for 2026 media subsidies from the Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Budget.
