Sunugal24 is a Senegalese digital news outlet and web TV known for fast‑moving coverage of national politics, justice, economy, sport and culture. Founded by journalist Aliou Top, the newsroom publishes breaking reports, opinion columns and studio interviews, and runs a high‑volume YouTube channel, Sunugal24TV, that reaches a seven‑figure audience. Coverage often follows court cases, government policy, energy and mining, education and community issues, and carries op‑eds from academics and lawyers. The video arm produces live streams from press conferences and street reporting during major political moments, as well as sports and culture features. The brand’s video work ranges from political talk shows and press briefings to sports highlights, including wrestling, one of Senegal’s most watched disciplines. Sunugal24 distributes across Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube, where it earned YouTube’s Silver Play Button after topping 1,000,000 subscribers and has since passed the million mark. The outlet is edited by Eureka Business Group, which in 2014 extended the portfolio with the print dayly Le Regard. In 2023, Sunugal24.net was among the online media that received state press support, with a grant of 11 million CFA francs. The platform publishes primarily in French and targets a broad, mass‑market audience interested in national current affairs. Its mix of rapid updates, commentary and on‑the‑ground video has made it a visible player in Senegal’s online news ecosystem.
