Zagora Press is a Moroccan Arabic-language digital newspaper that reports on life in the country’s south, with particular attention to Zagora and the Drâa-Tafilalet region, while covering Marrakech and national affairs. Based in Marrakech, the outlet publishes daily local reporting on public services, municipal decisions, policing and courts, infrastructure, health and education, culture and sport. Its coverage is organized around regional beats such as Errachidia, Tinghir, Midelt and Ouarzazate, giving readers hyperlocal updates that often go unreported by larger national titles. Alongside text stories, Zagora Press produces video dispatches and street interviews, and runs a regular opinion column that hosts commentary from local writers. The newsroom is led by director of publication Abdelrazak Oulami, with an editorial team that has included Maha Al-Draai, Halima Oulami and Najia Oulami. A dedicated Amazigh section carries essays and poetry, reflecting the linguistic and cultural mix of southern Morocco. The outlet has been publishing online since at least 2014, building an archive that documents civic life, community initiatives and regional festivals over the past decade. Its audience includes residents of Zagora and neighboring provinces as well as Moroccans elsewhere who want a ground-level view of events in the south. By foregrounding local voices and practical concerns—roads, markets, schools, hospitals—Zagora Press fills a gap between national headlines and everyday realities, acting as a community newspaper in digital form.
