Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko paid tribute to media professionals on Friday, August 1, 2025, during the official presentation of the “Jubbanti Koom” Plan. “I pay tribute to all the journalists, who do their work correctly and who respect the deontology. I pay tribute to them, because they exist”, declared M. Sonko before a panel of government members, technical and financial partners, and press representatives. In welcoming the respect for journalistic ethics, the Head of Government reaffirms the importance of quality and credible information in the success of the “Jubbanti Koom” plan, which aims to promote a new dynamic of economic and social recovery in Senegal. This tribute comes in a context where the role of the media is increasingly scrutinized, between the requirement of freedom of information and the imperative of professional responsibility.
