LUSAKA, ZAMBIA | 13 August 2026
By The Zambian Economist Analyst
The Zambian Economist and Katondo Street Journal have entered a content and advertising partnership that will allow the two platforms to share selected articles, carry reciprocal website promotions and direct readers to the original publisher.
The Zambian Economist reports on Zambia’s economy, business, public policy, entrepreneurship and investment. Katondo Street Journal focuses on finance, economics and global markets. The agreement connects those areas of coverage while leaving ownership and editorial control with each publication.
What the Partnership Covers
- Selected articles may be shared between the two websites.
- Every shared article must identify the original publisher and link to the source.
- Each website may carry partner banners, listings or direct promotional links.
- The publications remain separate businesses with independent editorial decisions.
How Article Sharing Will Work
Attribution and Original Links
A story selected for sharing must retain a clear byline or source label. Readers will be given a direct link to the original article. When an article is republished in full, the source reference will identify where it first appeared. This protects the work of the publisher and helps readers distinguish original reporting from syndication.
The arrangement is selective rather than automatic. Each publication will decide which articles fit its audience and may decline material that does not meet its editorial standards.
Editorial and Commercial Independence
The partnership does not merge the two newsrooms. It does not transfer ownership of either website, and it does not require one publisher to adopt the other’s editorial position.
Advertising and sponsored material will remain separate from independent reporting. Any paid placement arising from the partnership should be identified as advertising or sponsored content.
What It Means for Zambian Businesses
Wider Distribution for Business Coverage
A Zambian company featured on one platform may gain additional visibility when the article is selected by the partner publication. The same applies to market commentary, corporate interviews and reports on sectors such as mining, agriculture, banking and technology.
Businesses will also have a clearer route to reciprocal advertising opportunities. Enquiries about placements on The Zambian Economist can be submitted through the Advertise With Us page. Katondo Street Journal’s current coverage and contact routes are available through katondostreet.com.
For Readers, Investors and Policymakers
Readers will be able to move more easily between Zambia-specific business reporting and broader finance or global-market coverage. Someone following the kwacha, copper, investment policy or company activity can use the partner links to find related reporting without losing sight of the original source.
For investors and policymakers, the benefit is access to complementary reporting rather than a single shared editorial view. The two publications will continue to make their own judgments about evidence, emphasis and conclusions.
A Practical Distribution Agreement
Partner links have already been established on the two websites. The next stage is to use those links for selected article sharing and reciprocal banner placements.
The test will be straightforward: whether the arrangement sends readers to useful reporting, credits the outlet that produced it and creates transparent opportunities for business promotion. The publications will retain their separate identities while measuring the reach of shared articles and partner placements.
