Telexpresse is a Moroccan digital news organization that publishes primarily in Arabic and covers national and international affairs for a general audience. Its newsroom reports daily on politics, public policy, justice and security, the economy, culture and religion, technology and health, and sport. Beyond text updates, Telexpresse produces field reports and explanatory videos distributed on social platforms and a dedicated YouTube channel. During the Al Haouz earthquake in September 2023, the outlet mobilized a team on the ground for weeks under the direction of director of publication Ali Moubarak, documenting relief operations and public services in remote communes. The organization also experiments with formats; in 2017 it rolled out mobile streaming to make its output easier to watch on phones. Telexpresse maintains an assertive news agenda and publishes commentary alongside agency copy and original reporting. Its video operation was hit by a major cyberattack on November 27, 2024 that erased more than 7,000 published pieces; the site later reported similar denial-of-service attempts in August 2024. Despite those disruptions, the outlet continues to publish daily dispatches ranging from media policy debates to technology industry updates. With a focus on timely, Morocco-centered coverage, Telexpresse serves Arabic-speaking readers in the kingdom and the diaspora.
