The new website, indeed, improves users’ online reading experience. Various features have been added such as direct access to the Defimedia Group’s Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube channel by clicking on the respective icons found on top of right hand side of the website.

It is also easier for users to have access to the various microsites of the Defimedia Group, namely RadioPlus, TelePlus, Defi Deal, Defi Santé, Le Defi Moteurs and Annonces Gratuites.
