Actu Sen is a Senegalese digital news outlet that publishes national and regional reporting in French across politics, justice, society, economy, culture and sport. Operated by ARC ÉDITIONS—the media group behind the daily Source A and Source A TV—the newsroom files breaking updates, short dispatches and commentary, and follows court proceedings, government decisions and party politics that shape public debate. Its archive shows activity since at least 2014 under the Actusen brand, with bylines from staff reporters and interns. Coverage ranges from education reforms and university discipline to health‑sector labor actions, criminal cases and professional football, reflecting a broad general‑interest remit aimed at readers in Senegal and the diaspora. In May 2025, amid a regulatory drive by the Ministry of Communication, the group announced that Source A TV productions would be published via Actusen.sn; the ministry simultaneously confirmed the site’s compliance with the national press code. Actu Sen is regularly cited by peer outlets and appears in fact‑checking reviews, a sign of its reach inside Senegal’s competitive online news market. Publishing daily across the news cycle, it positions itself as a fast, reader‑focused source for developments in governance, justice, social issues and popular culture. Recent bylines include reporters such as Aïssatou Tall and Kiné Thiane, and the outlet increasingly publishes video segments and interviews alongside text reports.
