PressAfrik is a Dakar-based digital news outlet founded in 2008 and widely recognised as Senegal's first online newspaper. Reporting on politics, society, the economy, culture, and sport, it has built a strong reputation for quality, independent journalism over more than a decade, operating under the banner "information in all its diversity", grounded in freedom, professionalism, and credibility.

PressAfrik was the first Senegalese media outlet to earn certification under the Journalism Trust Initiative for the quality and transparency of its newsroom practices, placing it among a small group of certified African media. Beyond its website, it produces video journalism and maintains an active social media presence. Its founder has also been a leading voice in defence of press freedom in Senegal, helping to organise the country's online-press and journalists' associations. PressAfrik remains one of Senegal's most established and trusted independent digital news brands.
