Anfas Press is a Moroccan Arabic-language digital newspaper headquartered in Casablanca. It delivers continuous coverage of national politics, public policy, the economy, culture, sport and local affairs, and maintains dedicated sections for the Moroccan diaspora and public safety. The outlet describes its approach as proximity reporting built on credibility, depth and fieldwork, with an editorial line that backs democratic values, civil liberties and the strengthening of institutions. Readers are invited to engage as contributors, reflecting a participatory ethos in its newsroom culture. The organization is led by director Abdelrahim Ariri and is published by the company Raniheb. Beyond daily news dispatches, Anfas Press is known for its signed opinion and analysis. Ariri’s signature series, “Fi al‑Sameem,” offers reported essays on governance, regional development and the Sahara question, while the “Manbar Anfas” section hosts commentary from regular columnists and guest writers. This mix of reporting and commentary gives the outlet a distinct voice on policy debates and social trends. Anfas Press traces its editorial roots to a newsroom that launched the weekly Al‑Baydawi in 2002, rebranded as Al‑Watan Al‑Aan in 2006, a lineage that shapes its focus on national issues through a reformist lens. Publishing in Arabic and updated throughout the day, the outlet serves general audiences in Morocco and abroad who seek timely news alongside interpretive journalism grounded in on‑the‑ground observation.
