520 _aOn June 17, 2015, Senegal began transitioning from analog technologies to digital ones. This transition is taking place in a context marked by the notion of “innovation” in political discourse. According to this discourse, Senegal has now entered the “digital age.” The aim of this article is to shed light on the ways in which digital technologies can be seen as a tool at the service of political decision-makers—a vector for communication strategies and a driver of the country’s economic development. Analysis of the political discourse contrasts the promises of digital terrestrial television (DTT) with what has actually been achieved. It highlights the fact that the prevailing discourse on DTT is based on a strong technological determinism.
