Africaye es un proyecto creado en 2015 dedicado a entender África subsahariana a través de las ciencias sociales, el periodismo y la historia. En esta plataforma se intenta explicar la actualidad africana a través de las noticias mediáticas y puntuales, pero también, a través de la contextualización y de los procesos y fenómenos del continente.
Por fin en África es un blog creado y dirigido por Aurora Moreno Alcojor, licenciada en Periodismo, colaboradora con medios de comunicación como África no es un país y Mundo Negro. Su pasión por África resultó en la creación de este blog.
Como bien indica su creadora, en Por fin en África encontrará las noticias que no aparecen en los medios de comunicación y las que inundan los periódicos. También, encontrará noticias sobre la gente que hace cosas, los que protestan, los que se mueven y los que se marchan. Es un blog que trata la inmigración, habla de los africanos en Europa y los europeos que van a África. Es un blog lleno de dudas y preguntas en el que compartir con los demás.
Cabe destacar que el blog recibió un Premios Bitácoras 2012 por el mejor Blog Social en el Festival de Literatura Africana.
