As has been announced by Morocco World News in September, it is only a matter of weeks before being able to read the paper version of Hespress.
The team of the first Moroccan news website in Arabic, “Hespress.com” is putting the finishing touches on a weekly paper whose first issue will be published in January, Morocco’s most popular news portal said on Thursday. “We will strive to launch the first issue of the magazine during the first week of January,” Mohammed Amine Manouni, Hespress’ editor-in-chief was quoted as saying.
The managers of the portal that leads the list of most visited sites in Morocco for more than six years are riding on a wave of a true success story.
The Commercial teams of Hespress are already approaching advertisers and communication agencies in order to test the waters.
The news of the launching of Hespress Magazine, comes less than a week after Rachid Nini, the former editor-in-chief of Al Massae daily, along with former Al Jazeera correspondent Ikbal Ilhami, launched his new daily newspaper Al Akhbar (the news in Arabic).
Released from prison six months ago, Rachid Niny has, according to our information, managed to obtain the support of many sponsors, including some political parties.
