About Us

Welcome to Découvrez Maroc Magazine

Découvrez Maroc is a Moroccan general-interest digital media outlet born from both a passion and a vision: a passion for journalism and for the participatory and social culture of the web, and a vision to provide essential coverage of the events, topics, and debates shaping current affairs in Morocco.

Découvrez Maroc is the result of a strong partnership between media professionals and investors who share the same passion, vision, and values. The founders’ ambition is to provide a professional, credible, evolving digital information platform that meets the highest international standards.

Published by Ecorbasse, Découvrez Maroc was initially launched in two versions, Arabic and French. The publisher is committed to developing Découvrez Maroc into a leading editorial brand for Moroccans at home and abroad, as well as for international readers seeking high-quality information and insight into Morocco.

What Makes Us Different?

We explore every angle of the news to help our readers get straight to what matters. Every day, we examine the small and major questions that concern you. Our approach can be summed up in one word: investigating information and providing the best analysis of the major events shaping Morocco’s political, economic, social, cultural, media, sporting, and entertainment landscape.

More than just another media outlet, Découvrez Maroc is a social network dedicated to those who follow, analyze, and share the news. A social network in the human sense, bringing together people who share a common attachment to Morocco, a strong interest in current affairs and the debates shaping Moroccan society, and a desire to express and share their opinions.

Our Editorial Offering

We all live in an era of information overload. In response to this reality, Découvrez Maroc focuses on what matters by analyzing the issues behind the major events making the news.

News, analysis, debate, and sharing are the four pillars of our editorial offering. On Découvrez Maroc, information is covered from every angle, with a strong emphasis on insight and interactivity.

The press review is at the heart of our editorial offering. It is not simply a traditional reading of the Moroccan press. The purpose of our press review is to scan the most important stories published by daily newspapers available on the market and allow our readers, each evening, to discover the topics making the news while providing the context needed to understand what lies behind them.

Our Kiosk primarily focuses on current affairs covered by several publications, regardless of the language used. Each article published on the website focuses on a current topic and highlights the distinctive approaches taken by each media outlet in covering the story.

Clear, concise, and analytical writing characterizes our treatment of these subjects. Our analysis of the topics making headlines in the press is just as important as the synthesis of the articles reviewed.

Photos, videos, audio, graphics, and other visual materials are essential tools for showing and explaining the stories making the news.

To encourage debate, all debates, we provide readers with significant opportunities to express themselves through comments and/or opinion polls on major current events.

Découvrez Maroc aims to provide a space for expression where every opinion has a place. Readers are free to comment on all published content. Comments must comply with ethical standards, beginning with respect for pluralism of opinions and applicable laws.

Our ambition is to build a strong community of passionate readers who contribute constructive and meaningful comments.
