Senegal has one of West Africa's most respected and vibrant newspaper industries, with a rich media landscape that reflects the country's extraordinary democratic tradition — one of Africa's most stable democracies since independence in 1960. Senegalese newspapers publish almost exclusively in French, the official language, alongside a growing presence of Wolof-language media serving the country's largest ethnic group. Dakar is one of West Africa's most important media hubs.
Among the most widely read Senegalese newspapers online is Seneweb, the country's most visited digital news platform. Le Soleil is the country's oldest and most widely circulated print daily. The national broadcaster RTS provides nationwide TV and radio coverage. In sports, Senegal's Lions de la Teranga are Africa Cup of Nations champions — covered by WIW Sport and the official FSF. For business, Lejecos is the essential economic magazine.
