It uses formats such as articles, video reports and podcasts in three languages (Arabic, French and English) to inform and inspire people to care more about the environment.
BLUE TN, an environmental media in Tunisia, specializes in raising awareness of environmental issues through the production of investigative articles , video reports and documentaries.

Blue TN provides in-depth and creative coverage of environmental issues in Tunisia, as well as an international perspective on environmental issues.
The “Ecolo” radio program broadcast on Radio Express FM is also an excellent source of environmental information. The team includes Mohamed Hammami, Ayssa Sandli, environmental activist Houssem Hamdi and climate change expert Hamdi Hached. The show covers current affairs and popularizes environmental issues in depth, such as waste management, forest fires and drought, as well as possible solutions to these problems. It also gives a voice to vulnerable communities to talk about their problems.
The Environment Forum program on Radio Zitouna FM hosted by Taoufik Ben Abdallah since 2014 is another excellent source of information. The show deals with cutting-edge environmental topics by giving the floor to experts and civil society players.
Ecologia Podcast, a platform for the production of podcasts on modern challenges related to ecology and sustainable development. In each podcast, Arafet Ben Marzou, the platform’s founder, invites Tunisian experts, artists and scientists to talk about a specific environmental theme. Each podcast lasts around an hour.
Finally, the latest addition to Tunisia’s environmental media scene, Cosmos, a continuation of an earlier radio program, both projects launched by journalist Mabrouka Khedr , is an excellent choice for those looking for a practical and inspiring source of information on environmental issues in Tunisia. The medium highlights sustainable practices and environmental initiatives that can inspire people to take action to protect the environment.
These Tunisian environmental media play a crucial role in raising awareness of environmental protection.
