The enterprise also publishes ''The Ethiopian Herald'', a daily newspaper except on Mondays in the English language. Among its tabloids are the weeklies: ''Berissa'' in the local Oromo language and ''Al-Alem'' in the international Arabic languages. The agency has yet another bi-monthly magazine, known as ''Zemen'' in Amharic. With a current staff of more than 300, the Ethiopian Press Agency runs its own business affairs through own-generated incomes.
