In Saint-Louis, his name resonates like a legend of journalism. Golbert Diagne, founder of Frequency Teranga in 1996, was not only an emblematic voice of Senegalese radio. He was a demanding pedagogue, a trainer of souls, and a professional conscience builder.
Ousseynou Diop, one of his former students, delivers a strong testimony:
“He instilled a lot of values to us. It is a monument to the national and international press.” “Golbert advocated journalism centered on truth, ethics and social responsibility. A rare model, which has permanently marked the local press. It had a crazy love for Saint-Louis, and an acute sense of ethics. Since 1996, no journalist of Teranga FM has been summoned by the police. It is proof of solid supervision,” added the GFM correspondent to Saint-Louis.
“Beyond the methods, Golbert Diagne wore a vision, he had what I name spiritual journalism,” said the journalist.
Even today, his inheritance is perpetuated in the professional practices of those he trained. An invaluable legacy for Senegalese journalism in search of benchmarks.
