Tanja7 is a Tangier-based digital newsroom that covers the city and northern Morocco in Arabic, with an English service for international readers. Its reporters focus on civic life: municipal decisions, public services, transport, local justice, health, education, and sport. The outlet publishes breaking alerts and on-the-ground video, and runs a 7PM newsletter and active social channels to reach readers quickly. The newsroom’s remit is unapologetically local. It follows stories the city’s residents live with every day—parking rules and enforcement, taxi fares and conduct, tunnel safety, waste and beach pollution—while situating them in wider national developments. Recent coverage included a formal complaint alleging trainee abuse at Tangier’s Faculty of Medicine, youth protests branded #GenZ212, and operational updates from Tangier Med and the Grand Stade. It also reports crime and court cases that shape perceptions of safety across neighborhoods. Beyond hyperlocal beats, Tanja7 tracks national policy shifts with clear, service-oriented angles for northern readers, such as schooling results, recruitment announcements, and religious affairs. Publishing in two languages expands its reach to the Moroccan diaspora and visitors who follow Tangier’s economy and tourism. The outlet describes its editorial stance as independent and accuracy-driven. It operates year-round news desks with dedicated sections for local, national, international and sports coverage, and a video vertical. Over time it has become a reference point for timely, city-centered reporting from Tangier and the Tetouan–Al Hoceima region.
