This Arabic-language digital news outlet serves the city of Dakhla and the wider Dakhla–Oued Eddahab region in southern Morocco. Launched in 2015 as a continuation of the local newspaper Al‑Bahr Press, it publishes around-the-clock reporting on municipal decisions, public safety, courts, health, education, and the regional economy. The newsroom runs a distinctive beat dedicated to the fisheries and maritime sector—a pillar of Dakhla’s economy—covering octopus seasons, coastal regulations, port activity, and rescue operations along the Atlantic. Beyond daily articles, it produces field video reports and debates under “Dakhla News TV,” and carries editorials and guest columns that reflect a range of local viewpoints. An explicit editorial charter guides its work: balanced coverage; respect for opinion and counter‑opinion; verification before publication; a guaranteed right of reply; and rejection of defamation, hate speech, and invasions of privacy. It also emphasizes freedom of expression, human rights, and watchdog reporting on public spending. Coverage extends to cross‑border trade through the Guerguerat crossing, regional infrastructure and investment, community notices, and sport. The outlet reports roughly 15,000 daily visitors, underscoring its role as a daily reference point for residents of Dakhla and Morocco’s southern provinces.
