SafiPress is an Arabic‑language digital newspaper headquartered in Safi, Morocco, focused on the city and its surrounding province. It reports daily on municipal decisions, policing and courts, public services, education, culture, and sport, serving readers across the Marrakech–Safi region. The newsroom mixes straight local reporting with opinion columns and editorial cartoons, and it produces short video pieces that document civic life and official visits. Sports coverage is a notable strand, following Olympique Safi’s league and continental fixtures alongside community clubs. SafiPress also pays close attention to public‑service and infrastructure stories that affect residents, from water management to healthcare access. Recent coverage reflects this local brief: reporting in October 2025 on a police seizure of 4.725 tons of cannabis resin near Safi; match reports from Olympique Safi’s CAF Confederation Cup campaign; and earlier documentation of inspections of a wastewater treatment plant and planned seawater desalination works. Court and justice news appears regularly, including appointments and ceremonies at the Safi first‑instance court. The outlet is led by editor‑in‑chief Hicham Atri. Through this mix of beats—civic affairs, heritage and culture, schools, and sport—SafiPress aims to keep Safi’s residents informed about decisions, events, and debates that shape everyday life in the city and province.
