Berrechid News is a local digital newspaper serving Berrechid and the wider Casablanca‑Settat region. Launched in 2012 and published by Chid Media SARL, it focuses on municipal affairs, public services, courts and security updates, community initiatives, and youth and sports. Its coverage blends breaking local developments with on‑the‑ground reporting and commentary that reflects issues residents face, from infrastructure and health services to education and small business. The outlet operates “Berrechid News TV,” producing video reports, talk programs, and short documentaries that extend its reporting beyond text. An in‑house team leads the operation: publisher and general manager Younes Hadrani, editor‑in‑chief Hamid Benaissa, and a small editorial board of local reporters. The newsroom emphasizes pluralism and professional standards and holds legal registration under Morocco’s Press and Publications Law 88‑13. It also obtained a national filming permit from the Moroccan Cinematographic Center (2018/DP/1345), enabling field video coverage across the country. Berrechid News reports an average audience of about 17,000 daily visits and has built a sizable social following, with its Facebook page surpassing 250,000 followers by late 2021. In 2018 it signed a cooperation agreement with Magazine 24 to exchange training and content. With consistent, locality‑driven reporting and regular video coverage, the outlet has become a reference point for news about Berrechid Province.
