History

Magazines in Morocco initially focused on cultural, literary, and political topics. One of the earliest examples is Souffles (1966–1972), a Francophone literary and political magazine founded by poet Abdellatif Laâbi and other intellectuals. Souffles played a significant role in shaping Moroccan cultural discourse during the post-independence era, though it was eventually banned due to its politically charged content.

In the 1970s and 1980s, magazines began to diversify, with the introduction of women's magazines and lifestyle publications. Femmes du Maroc (transl. 'Moroccan Ladies', launched in 1998)[3] and Citadine (transl. 'City Women', launched in 2001)[4][5] are among the most notable women's magazines, offering content on fashion, beauty, and social issues.[6] These publications marked a shift in the magazine industry, targeting a growing female readership and addressing topics relevant to modern Moroccan women.[7]

The 1990s and 2000s saw further growth in the magazine industry, with the introduction of business, entertainment, and youth-oriented publications. TelQuel (transl. 'as it is', founded in 2001) is a prominent French-language weekly magazine that covers politics, society, and culture.[8][9] Known for its investigative journalism and bold editorial stance, TelQuel has become one of Morocco's most influential publications.[10]

Another significant magazine is Maroc Hebdo (founded in 1987), a French-language weekly that provides in-depth analysis of current affairs, politics, and culture. It has been a key player in shaping public opinion and fostering debate on critical issues in Morocco.

In recent years, Morocco's magazine industry has continued to evolve, with the emergence of new publications that cater to younger audiences and niche interests. Nichane (transl. 'Direct', launched in 2006 to 2010) was a Moroccan weekly arabophone and darijophone (in Moroccan Arabic) news magazine.[11][12] Similarly, Skefkef (founded in 2018) is a satirical and humorous magazine that uses comedy to address social and political issues.[13] Another recent addition is DimaTOP (transl. 'Always Top', established in 2024), a digital magazine dedicated to highlighting success stories within the hip-hop community. It has also become the first platform in Morocco to rate and review music albums.[14]
