Morocco World News (MWN) is a Moroccan online newspaper published in English. It was founded in 2011 by Samir Bennis and Adnane Bennis. Based in Rabat, it covers national and international news in English, aiming to offer a Moroccan perspective on major regional and global issues.[1]

The site is notable for its mission to make Moroccan current affairs accessible to an international audience, particularly within the English-speaking world. It covers a range of topics, including politics, economic affairs, culture, and migration issues.

Overview

Morocco World News was founded in 2011 in New York by Samir Bennis and Adnane Bennis, two Moroccan brothers living in the USA who were frustrated with the lack of English language news coverage of Morocco.[2]

The site publishes news about Morocco and the MENA region, covering a broad range of topics including politics, economics, international relations, technology, sports, and the Western Sahara.

Reception

Scholars have described Morocco World News as a "blog" (p. 243) and a "state-affiliated source" (p. 251).[3]
