Tract.Sn (Créé Par L’Agence De Communication Axes Et Cibles Com)

https://tract.sn/
Tract.sn is a Senegalese news organization that publishes a daily online outlet and a weekly digital tabloid, Tract Tabloïd Hebdo. Based in Dakar and published by Axes & Cibles Com, it combines reported pieces with opinion‑driven journalism and a magazine‑style treatment of current affairs. The newsroom covers national politics, the economy (under the “Eco des Savanes” banner), culture, society and communities, fashion, and literature through its “Littérat’ataya” reading notes, alongside editorials and regular columns. The brand began as a print tabloid on March 8, 2000 within the Com7 press group and paused publication in 2002; it returned online on March 8, 2018 to continue the title’s trajectory for a digital audience. Founder and chief executive Ousseynou Nar Gueye remains the driving force behind the project, while journalist Cheikh Tidiane Coly—formerly of Lissa Magazine and Satelit—serves as director of publications. Tract defines its editorial identity as “infos, éditos, idéaux,” mixing a proudly African outlook with a metropolitan sensibility and playful wordcraft. Beyond the website, the organization distributes its weekly PDF edition on the YouScribe by Orange platform, reaching readers across multiple African countries and the Senegalese diaspora in France. The outlet states its commitment to ethical standards and allows readers to seek redress through Senegal’s CORED media self‑regulator when necessary. With a tone that is both opinionated and grounded in reporting, Tract targets Senegal’s public sphere and its diaspora, offering context‑rich coverage and space for guest tribunes.
