A large, rapidly growing, well-educated base of Ethiopian-American citizens and residents are indicative of the importance and necessity of a media source to channel information throughout the community. The Ethiopian population is estimated at approximately half a million people, concentrated in major states such as Washington D.C, California and Georgia. In D.C. alone, the Ethiopian-born population represents the second largest black segment after African Americans.
Zethiopia reaches the community's top business and political leaders, as well as young and older generations across the country, by distributing in heavily populated areas, as well as venues often frequented by the Ethiopian community, such as Ethiopian Churches, Ethiopian grocery stores or markets, as well as apartment complexes housing a large concentration of Ethiopians. This offers an excellent opportunity for advertisers to use Zethiopia as a gateway to reach the expanding Ethiopian sector and promote their business, social and professional activities.
