Akhbarona is a Morocco-based Arabic-language digital newspaper established in 2011 and published by Akhbarona Media SARL. It reports daily on national affairs, politics, the economy, society, sport, culture, health and technology, combining breaking news with commentary and service journalism. Its newsroom publishes text, photo and on-the-ground video packages under the Akhbarona “Shasha” banner, and runs regular sections for public-sector job competitions and community notices. The outlet is edited by Adil Al‑Ouzzani Al‑Fetouh (general manager and editor‑in‑chief) with Mohamed El Habchaoui as publishing director. Akhbarona is formally registered as an electronic periodical with the International Standard Serial Number e‑ISSN 2550‑5963. The company is registered in Tetouan. Distribution spans web and mobile: the organization maintains official smartphone apps that mirror its live news flow and comment streams. Readership is anchored in Morocco and extends to the Moroccan diaspora, with notable audiences in France, Spain, Belgium and Italy. Coverage ranges from parliament and government policy to local incidents, football and arts, often framed with video vox pops and short explainers. The brand also runs a diaspora‑focused channel, Akhbarona Aljalia, carrying reports and field pieces from European cities with large Moroccan communities. In the Moroccan media landscape, Akhbarona functions as a high‑frequency general news service that blends rapid updates with opinion columns and practical information, making it a daily reference point for Arabic‑speaking audiences at home and abroad.
