Overview
Morocco World News was founded in 2011 in New York by brothers Samir Bennis and Adnane Bennis. It was established in response to what its founders perceived as a lack of English-language media coverage about Morocco.[2]
The newspaper publishes news related to Morocco and the MENA region, covering topics such as 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]
