Mondoblog, the largest community of French-speaking bloggers
You never tell your “home” as well as when you live there and the news as when you live it… These are the stories from the four corners of the world that Mondoblog brings together and offers you.
Mondoblog, created in 2010 by The Media Workshop of RFI, is a big family. Those who talk about it best are the bloggers themselves. Moreover, many of them had given their time in 2021 and 2022 to support candidates for the competition. “Mondoblog preparations” had thus been organized in N’Djamena (Chad) at WenakLabsin Conakry by to blogthe association of bloggers from Guinea, Cameroon with ABCthe association of bloggers of Cameroon, and in Mali thanks to Doniblogthe community of bloggers from Mali.
Creating links and meetings is one of the objectives of Mondoblog. Thus, each year, the Mondoblog management team does its utmost to organize regional training, on site. Real-time coverage of regional, national or international events allows bloggers and the Mondoblog team to meet with a dual objective: to produce content and increase the level of technical and writing knowledge. bloggers through thematic training workshops.
In 2023, Mondoblog will perpetuate this dynamic by creating new events, physical or digital. Mondoblog will remain faithful to what gives meaning to our platform and our community: the link. Read and meet the “old” faithful to Mondoblog since its first season, but also read and welcome the “new” about to be recruited, to maintain strong links within a close-knit community, which works to provide information rich and varied.
The role of audio and video
In 2021 and 2022, Mondoblog consolidated its link with the podcast, by making « Mondoblog Audio » a real meeting with listeners, thanks to its regular broadcast on RFI, every week in the Media Workshop. A blog post is thus honored in the form of a breaking latest news, halfway between the audio book and the mood post. Posts are aired thanks to the voices of our bloggers.
Last year, Mondoblog completed its digital offer, by proposing a new appointment, with the video-portraits of the bloggers. Discover our French-speaking community thanks to these videos from all over the world, which are broadcast each month on the Mondoblog website, as well as on its Youtube channel and social networks.
Thematic writing proposals
On certain occasions, we ask bloggers who so wish to work on a common theme, linked to current events. This allows us to generate certain types of content and obtain a result of great richness given the composition of our community. These initiatives are punctual, because what matters to us is that each blogger finds his editorial line and his readership.
Our platform thus took on the colors of culture and music during the Festival Afropolitain Nomade, the environment during the Cop 27 and those of football during the World Cup. She will soon take on the colors of feminism for Women’s Rights Day. This year again, Mondoblog will renew these appointments.
A New Enthusiasm Takes Over Blogging
During the previous Mondoblog contest, we had the pleasure of receiving more than 1,000 applications! A new enthusiasm is taking hold of blogging, the success of which is undeniable! The many advantages of the blog convince more and more Internet users who do not find in social networks the same richness of story, nor the same conditions of expression and visibility as on a blog. And that makes us happy!
In 2023, we hope to renew this great result with the 10th edition of our competition, to maintain our vitality and our creativity, in order to produce specific content within RFI, dynamic, local and concerning.
