Moroccan media in a changing environment
From September 01, 2012 until September 18, 2012
On Tuesday September 18th, Casa Árabe hosts a debate with Morocco opinion makers. Journalists from the main media in the country will be gathered to discuss.
Since 2005, information and communication scenery in Morocco is undergoing quite an important dynamism, especially due to the modernising reforms, both related to the press and the audiovisual sector. Regarding the latter, the State gave up its monopoly and created the High Authority on Audiovisual Communication and passed a new law on the matter, allowing an unprecedented media diversity within the Kingdom. In the light of social movement in 2011, those medias are evidently strategic tools to set the pillars of a democratic, free and responsible society.
The event will be conducted by José Luis Martín Yagüe, Chief of the Department of Cooperation with the Mediterranean and the Arab World, at the Secretariat of State for International Cooperation and for Latin America, and by Eduardo López Busquets, Director General of Casa Árabe. It will take place at 19.30 at the institution’s Auditorium in Madrid (c/Alcalá, 62).
Among the participants on the debate: Khalil Hachimi Idrissi, director general of the Moroccan Press Agency (MAP, Agence Marocaine de Presse); Mohamed Jouahri, director general of the journal Le Matin du Sahara et du Maghreb; Marie-Thérèse Bourrut Dilami, from the group L’Économiste; Karim Boukhari, director of the weekly Telquel; Saad A.
