Diacounda Sene

I am a Senegalese Journalist, graduated from CESTI (Centre d’Etudes des Sciences et Techniques de l’Information) in 2010. After my bachelor in journalism and communication I started my journalism practice as a reporter in “Le Quotidien” newspaper. (2009-2014). I went on to study for a master's degree in media and communications in the same institution. I participated in the first IOC Young Reporters program during Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic GamesI’m currently working with the association as an external collaborator. At the same time, I continue my sport journalism work as a freelancer.
