Lakome2 is an independent Moroccan news organization established on August 10, 2015 by journalist Ali Anouzla as the continuation of Lakome.com, blocked by authorities in 2013. Based in Rabat and published by Lakome Media (SARL AU), the outlet focuses on public‑interest journalism in Arabic, with an editorial mission to protect the public’s right to information and to apply professional standards of accuracy, fairness and accountability.
The newsroom covers Moroccan politics, governance and justice, as well as the economy, social policy and human rights. It produces daily news, in‑depth reports and investigations, and regular interviews with politicians, experts and civil society leaders. Lakome2 also runs distinct editorial strands: Lakome TV for video reports and explainers; Lakome Sport for sports coverage; an opinion section that hosts columns from Moroccan writers and academics; and infographics that distill complex statistics into accessible visuals. International and regional developments are reported through a Moroccan lens, connecting global events to domestic debates.
Lakome2’s independence defines its identity. Its coverage scrutinizes policy choices, public spending and accountability, often highlighting issues of rights and governance that receive limited attention elsewhere. The outlet addresses Arabic‑speaking audiences in Morocco and the diaspora, including journalists, activists and policy professionals who rely on timely, contextual reporting. Through consistent, critical coverage since 2015, Lakome2 has reasserted the role of nonpartisan, public‑service journalism in Morocco’s digital media landscape.
