Morocco World News (MWN) is an English-language digital newspaper covering Morocco and the wider MENA region. Founded in 2011 by brothers Samir and Adnane Bennis, it is headquartered in Rabat with additional offices in Fez and Washington, DC. The outlet publishes daily news, features, and analysis on politics, economic policy, society, culture, technology, sports, and foreign affairs, including sustained reporting on Western Sahara and Morocco’s diplomacy.
MWN’s stated mission is to champion free speech and thoughtful debate while adhering to accuracy and independence as core values. Its coverage is tailored to English-speaking audiences in Morocco, the diaspora, and international readers seeking a Moroccan perspective on regional developments. The newsroom invests in early‑career talent; more than 70% of its journalists are young Moroccan women, paired with senior editors and contributors from Morocco, Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
The publication serves the country’s growing Anglophone community, producing explanatory reporting and opinion pieces alongside straight news. Between 2018 and 2023, it recorded 71.3 million article views from 25.7 million readers across its platforms, reflecting sustained global interest in Morocco‑focused coverage. MWN also extends its reporting through multimedia and social channels to reach younger audiences. Fourteen years after its launch, the outlet continues to frame Moroccan current affairs for a global readership through original reporting, contextual analysis, and editorials grounded in its stated ethical standards.
