Profile
PressAfrikTVHD, also knownsimply as PressAfrik, operates a YouTube channel and an associated Gmail account through which it publishes video news content. The organisation’s core activity is the production and distribution of journalistic material, focusing on current events and topics of interest to Senegalese and Francophone audiences. By maintaining editorial and administrative functions, PressAfrikTVHD creates regular programming that is monetised via the YouTube Partner Program and its AdSense revenue stream. The organisation is headquartered in Senegal.
Prior to the security incident reported on 26 March 2025, the channel was undergoing a period of significant subscriber growth, indicating an expanding viewership base. Concurrently, its AdSense revenue was increasing, reflecting higher engagement and advertiser interest. These trends suggest that PressAfrikTVHD had achieved a notable footprint within the online news video landscape in Senegal.
PressAfrikTVHD distinguishes itself through a stated commitment to journalism integrity, which it reiterated after regaining control of its compromised assets. In response to the hijacking of its YouTube channel and Gmail account, the organisation filed a formal complaint with Senegal’s Cybercrime Division and warned its community about potential fraudulent content. This response highlights its proactive approach to protecting its brand and maintaining trust with its audience.
