Assabah

Assabah is the 3rd most read Moroccan daily newspaper. It was founded in 2000 by the EcoMedias group , a major press group presided by Abdelmounaim Dilami who is also publishing director for this outlet. It is an Arabic language daily newspaper that has a distribution averaging 32 556 copies a month.

Following its creation, the paper was often hailed as being part of a new type of Arabic-language press, that addressed the masses, was not afraid of so-called red lines and steered away from official editorial lines. However, over the years, it has proven on several occasions its bias towards the security apparatus and has been playing a considerable part in feeding the fear of a supposedly islamist threat towards the nation. The recurrence of non-verified or misleading informations while never bringing a correction to or explanation for said behaviour is poses a serious question as to the editorial positioning of this outlet.
