Master Class in Print and Online Media Management Session 2: Le Maroc dispose d’une presse riche et très diversifiée, mais toujours à la recherche d’un lectorat conséquent. En effet, avec quelques 588 titres, dont 425 édités en Arabe, 142 en Français et 8 en Tamazight, le taux de pénétration des quotidiens (le nombre d’exemplaires diffusés pour 1000 habitants) reste très faible KPMG: Readers of written press constitute merely 1 percent of the Moroccan population.” This translates to no more than roughly 330,000 Moroccans out of a total population of about 33 million. Master Class in Print and Online Media Management Session 2: Morocco has nine domestic free-to-air channels: seven government owned, one privately owned, and one of mixed ownership.

MideastMedia.org 2016 • Newspapers in the Middle East recording the lowest circulation growth rate in the past 3 years, a small but significant Arabic speaking audience is turning to the digital space to get their news fix. Arab Media Forum • West suffered a severe circulation erosion in the same timeframe. MideastMedia.org 2016 Master Class in Print and Online Media Management Session 2: Comparing Morocco to MENA: Broadcast: • Television remains a resilient, growing, and increasingly dynamic platform in the Middle East. • The region’s TV market base currently stands at just 50 million TV households, and is dominated by satellite television. • The Arab television industry continues to be dominated by Free- to-Air satellite. There are close to 540 free-to air channels in the region with a steady increase in the number of channels on an annual basis in the last few years. • New channel launches have been largely under the umbrella of large pan-Arab broadcasting groups such as MBC.

Satellite, almost 80 percent of the region’s TV households. • Poor Internet infrastructure in non-GCC MENA countries has also hindered the adoption of IPTV in the region. Master Class in Print and Online Media Management Session 2: Coming to you soon: (?) IPTV! • IPTV and DTT are the fastest-growing platforms from 2010 to 2014, with CAGRs of 25 percent and 35 percent, respectively, outpacing the global growth rate, but from a much smaller base. • MENA’s adoption of these types of TV distribution has been driven by the richer GCC countries, due to more high-speed broadband penetration and regulations. • In countries such as Egypt, IPTV is virtually non-existent, and terrestrial TV is declining as satellite TV gains a larger share. This is mainly due to the wider multi-channel choice proposed by satellites and the delays in DTT roll-out. Master Class in Print and Online Media Management Session 2: Pay TV • Pay TV subscriptions continue to show a significant growth despite the ubiquity of free content on offer. In markets like the UAE and Qatar, pay TV was present in more than 80 percent of the TV households in 2015. • Pay TV market in the Middle East is divided into mainstream, multi- platform pay TV operators, and IPTV providers OSN is the region’s leading pay TV operator beIN Sports has the most subscribers IPTV primarily consists of GCC telecom operators Etisalat and du in UAE, STC in the KSA, and Ooredoo in Qatar. Master Class in Print and Online Media Management Session 2: Leading Pay TV and IPTV Providers (2015) Master Class in Print and Online Media Management Session 2: What do people watch on Free-to-Air satellites? Master Class in Print and Online Media Management Session 2: Given those trends, what the demographic and technological realities in Morocco? If, as media managers, you decide to make changes in your operations, you could make better decisions by having more accurate data (All data in the remaining slides are specific to Morocco) Master Class in Print and Online Media Management Session 2: Internet users and access types in Morocco 17.8 millions of Moroccans aged 5 years and older did connect to the internet in the last three months of 2015. The proportion of Internet users has increased compared to 2014, rising from 56.8% to 57.1% in 2015 Session 2: Penetration and growth of mobile telephony in Morocco Session 2: Growth of smartphones in Morocco: 14.7 million units in 2015, which represents a significant increase of 5.3 million units compared to 2014 Session 2: Barriers to owning smartphones Session 2: Internet access on mobile phones Session 2: Why do they access? Session 2: What sites do they access? Session 2: Main barriers to Internet use on mobiles Session 2: Fixed telephony continues to decline in 2015. Hence, the proportion of households equipped with fixed telephony decreased by about two points from 24.1% in 2014 to 22.3% in 2015 Figure 1 : Evolution in % of individuals and households’ ICT equipment (2004-2015) (% of individuals aged 12-65 years/ % of households in areas connected to the electric grid) Session 2: Households with fixed line The proportion of households equipped with a fixed line has been decreasing during the past six years with less than one in four households that was equipped in 2015 (22.3%) Session 2: Motivation for getting fixed line Session 2: Household by computer type Session 2: Household with Internet type Session 3: Given the above data showing a clear move towards better and more expanded use of ICT in Morocco, how can media think differently about other newsroom management theories and practices? Session 3: Session 3: Too often, digital progress has been accomplished through workarounds; now we must tear apart the barriers. We must differentiate between mission and tradition: what we do because it’s essential to our values and what we do because we’ve always done it. Session 3: Today, they [the articles]also lead people to devote valuable space on their smartphone’s homescreen to our app, to seek us out on social media amid the cacophony and to subscribe to our newsletters and briefings.

  • North Afr I CA M Iddle East
    / NorTh AFrica/ Middle eAsT observatory for the protection of human rights defenders annual report 2009 …439 / regIoNAl ANALYSIs NorTh AFrICA / mIDDLE eAsT observatory for the protection of human rights defenders annual report 2009 The entry into force in March 2008 of the Arab Charter on Human Rights, binding the States of North Africa and the Middle East that ratified it, contrasts with the persistent human rights violations and the many obstacles to the defence of human rights noted in this region in 2008. This text, in spite of some weak points, includes provisions that may help to advance the recognition of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the region and in addition provides for the creation of an Arab Human Rights Committee responsible for monitoring applica- tion of the Charter and whose work was due to begin in the first half of 2009. Nonetheless, apart from the fact that, at the end of 2008, only 27 of the Member States of the League of Arab States had ratified 1 the Arab Charter on Human Rights , several provisions remain not consistent with international human rights standards and instruments. As an example, the Charter stipulates that national legislation may take precedence over the provisions of the text, notably for security reasons. This provision, which calls into question the principle of the legal superiority of international and regional instruments over national legislation, risks restricting implementation of the Charter, especially in countries where massive human rights violations under the pretext of national security are witnessed. Human rights defenders were not spared in the persistent and resur- gent internal conflicts in certain countries of the region: they were subjected to assassinations (Iraq), arbitrary detentions (Yemen) and obstacles to their freedom of movement (Israel/Occupied Palestinian Territories) throughout the year in these countries.

  • Morocco: Freedom on the Net 2017
    FREEDOM ON THE NET 2017 Morocco 2016 2017 Population: 35.3 million Partly Partly Internet Freedom Status Internet Penetration 2016 (ITU): 58.3 percent Free Free Social Media/ICT Apps Blocked: Yes Obstacles to Access (0-25) 12 11 Political/Social Content Blocked: No Limits on Content (0-35) 9 10 Bloggers/ICT Users Arrested: Yes Violations of User Rights (0-40) 23 24 TOTAL* (0-100) 44 45 Press Freedom 2017 Status: Not Free * 0=most free, 100=least free Key Developments: June 2016 – May 2017 • The telecommunications regulator ordered ISPs to lift restrictions on VoIP services imposed last year (see Restrictions on Connectivity). • Provisions in the new press code passed in June 2016 removed jail sentences for journalistic crimes, except in cases when journalists fail to pay fines, which remai steep. The code also mandates the registration of online journalists in a move that may further stifle free reporting (se Legal Environment). • Digital activism surrounding the death of a fish salesman in the coastal city of al Hoceima led to a national protest movement against social and economic conditions (see Digital Activism). • Hamid al-Mahdaoui, editor-in-chief of the news site Badil, received a suspended sentence for investigative reporting and was later arrested and imprisoned for covering the protests (see Prosecutions and Detentions for Online Activities). • Five prominent activists and online journalists face up to five years in prison fo “threatening the security of the state,” while two additional journalists could be fine for receiving foreign funding without permission. All seven individuals are implicated in a troubling court case that has been repeatedly postponed (see Prosecutions and Detentions for Online Activities).

  • Landscaping Broadcast Media in Morocco: TVM's Viewing Frequency
    New Media and Mass Communication www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3267 (Paper) ISSN 2224-3275 (Online) Vol.59, 2017 Landscaping Broadcast Media in Morocco: TVM’s Viewing Frequency, Cultural Normalization Effects, and Reception Patterns among Moroccan Youth: An Integrated Critical Content Analysis Abdelghanie Ennam Assistant Professor, Department of English Studies, Ibn Tofail University, Kenitra, Morocco Abstract This paper approaches the Moroccan broadcast media landscape in the age of globally internetworked digital broadcasting systems through an integrated critical content-analysis of TVM’s viewing frequency, cultural normalization effects, and reception patterns as manifest among Moroccan youth. TVM is short for TV Morocco, a handy English substitute for SNRT (Societé Nationale de Radiodiffusion et de Télévision, National Radio & Television Broadcasting Corporation). The paper, first, presents a succinct historical account of the station’s major stages of institutional and structural evolution since its inception to date. Second, it tries to measure the channel’s degrees of watchability and needs satisfaction partially with a view to clarifying what this study sees as a phenomenon of satellite and digital migration of many Moroccans to foreign broadcast and electronic media outlets. Third, the paper attempts to demonstrate if TVM exerts any consolidating or weakening effects on the cultural identity patterns in Morocco purportedly resulting from an assumed normalization process. These three undertakings are carried out on the basis of a field survey targeting a random sample of 179 Moroccan second and third year students of English Studies at Ibn Tofail University, and an elected set of media approaches like Uses and Gratifications Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, Cultivation Theory, and Cultural Imperialism.
