Xalaat TV is a Senegalese media outlet focused on investigative and explanatory journalism. Founded in 2015, it emerged as a Wolof‑first YouTube channel and built a mass audience by unpacking social issues, political dynamics and the actions of public figures. In 2024 it transitioned from a single channel into a full newsroom as part of Groupe Africa Médias Link, a Dakar‑based publisher that supports pan‑African media projects. The brand now commissions professional reporters and producers to deliver investigations, field reports, interviews and studio shows. Regular strands cover politics, education, society, health, arts and culture, sports and international affairs, alongside fact‑checking segments and weekly talk programs such as Càmbar Hebdo.
Wolof remains central to its identity, making complex stories accessible to broad Senegalese audiences at home and in the diaspora. Its reach is anchored by a large video following—more than 1.3 million subscribers and over 180 million views on YouTube—complemented by an online news site that hosts articles, replays and live programming. The editorial team is led by director of publication Boury Diakhate and editor‑in‑chief Ismaila Seck. In February 2025, the group operating Xalaat TV appeared on a Ministry of Communication list of media compliant with Senegal’s press code. With a watchdog stance and a focus on verified sourcing, Xalaat TV shapes public debate while broadening access to journalism in the Wolof language.
