TanjaNews is a digital news outlet based in Tangier, Morocco, launched in June 2007 as the city’s first online newsroom. It serves readers across Tangier and the wider Tanger–Tétouan–Al Hoceïma region with daily breaking news, on-the-ground video reports, and coverage that spans public safety and courts, municipal affairs, transport and the port, cross‑border issues with Ceuta, sports, and culture. The outlet publishes primarily in Arabic and maintains an active French section to reach bilingual audiences. TanjaNews is produced by TanjaNews.com for Media and Communication, a Tangier-registered SARL, and is led by general manager Mohamed al‑Nikri and publishing director Mohamed Said Chentouf. The company is registered in Tangier (RC 74133) with share capital of 100,000 MAD. The newsroom’s output ranges from short dispatches to live streams and field interviews, reflecting a proximity-journalism approach that prioritizes speed, clarity, and local detail. TanjaNews has built one of the region’s largest digital audiences; in October 2024 it reported an average of 500,000 visits per day, and its exclusives and spot news are frequently picked up by national outlets. After more than a decade of continuous publishing, it functions as a reference point for residents tracking civic issues, emergencies, and local sport while also carrying national and international briefs of interest to northern Morocco.
