Le360 is a Moroccan digital news platform established in 2013. Based in Casablanca, it publishes content in French, Spanish and Arabic.
It is among the most visited news websites in Morocco. The outlet has been described by some international media organisations as being close to Moroccan authorities.[1][2]
Le360 was launched in 2013 by Aziz Daki, an art critic and former director of the Mawazine music festival. The platform is owned by Edit Holding. According to reports by the French magazine TelQuel and newspaper Libération, the ownership structure has ties to Mounir Majidi, the personal secretary to King Mohammed VI.[3][1]
In 2016, the site expanded its reach by launching an Arabic version to compete with other major portals like Hespress.
