Assirou is a Senegalese news organization operating under the Assirou Global Media banner, founded on February 20, 2008. Based in Dakar, it publishes daily reporting, analysis and opinion on politics, society, the economy and religion, with notable depth on news from Touba and the Mouride community. The group runs Assirou TV, a video arm that produces news briefs, interviews and explanatory segments, and it publishes in print through Assirou Quotidien, a newspaper sold at newsstands. In 2019, the group also launched a weekly magazine to expand long‑form coverage around major national events such as the Grand Magal of Touba.
Its newsroom states a commitment to ethics and professional standards, and its agenda frequently tracks governance, public finance, justice, local development and religious life. Commentary and editorials are regular fixtures, and recurring features such as “Homme de l’Année” spotlight influential figures in public and spiritual life.
Assirou’s multiplatform model—high‑volume digital news, on‑camera programming and print editions—positions it to serve readers who follow national politics while remaining attentive to communities outside Dakar. With roots in central Senegal and operations in the capital, the outlet bridges national and local perspectives and gives sustained attention to religious cities that shape the country’s civic rhythm.
