history
The state daily newspaper Nigers first appeared on November 17, 1961 under the name Le Temps du Niger . Your journalists were civil servants. Le Temps du Niger took over reports from Agence France-Presse and reported on the activities of the government of President Hamani Diori . When Hamani Diori was overthrown in 1974 and Seyni Kountché came to power, the government press was adapted to the new government and Le Temps du Niger was renamed Le Sahel . Under Kountché's successor Ali Saibou , the press landscape was liberalized. The print media department of the Information Ministry had previously published Le Sahel and Sahel Dimanche , but in 1989 the Office National d'Edition et de Presse (ONEP), created as a government agency, took over this task. In 1990, Haské, the first independent daily Nigers, was published, founded by Ibrahim Cheick Diop, a former journalist from Le Sahel .
