This anniversary coincides with Morocco’s Independence Day, a moment of profound symbolic importance in the nation’s history, celebrating the values of sacrifice, commitment, and genuine patriotism that inspired MAP’s creation.
As a strategic national media institution, MAP plays a significant role in showcasing Morocco’s progress across various sectors under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. The agency is dedicated to strengthening the country’s media sovereignty and defending its paramount interests, while adapting to the profound transformations reshaping the media landscape at continental, regional, and international levels.
In this context, MAP has intensified its cooperation and partnership agreements with leading global news agencies, aligning with its strategic vision to establish itself as a regional and continental reference in information dissemination.
Founded on November 18, 1959, following the inaugural message by the late HM King Mohammed V, “Information is sacred, commentary is free,” MAP has been a witness and contributor to key moments in Morocco’s modern history and that of the continent. It has established itself as a powerful vehicle for the pluralism and diversity that enrich Morocco’s identity.
Fully committed to the major reform initiatives led by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, MAP has cultivated a reputation as an agency attuned to the expectations of an increasingly demanding audience, emphasizing rigor, reliability, credibility, and diversity.
With a team of 300 journalists distributed across its central newsroom in Rabat and its regional and international networks, MAP serves as the primary provider of verified information across multiple formats, including news dispatches, infographics, photos, and audio-visual content.
The agency offers a diverse 24-hour-rolling news feed to national media outlets and foreign partners in five languages: Arabic, French, English, Spanish, and Amazigh.
Moreover, MAP is deeply committed to upholding ethical standards and integrity in the face of challenges such as combating fake news and disinformation, addressing threats to journalistic practice, and adapting to rapid technological changes.
Sixty-five years after its establishment, the Maghreb Arabe Presse Agency is more dynamic than ever, leveraging its expertise and uniting its energies to innovate, reinvent, and excel. Its shared objective is to strengthen its effectiveness, professionalism, and relevance, ensuring that MAP continues to be synonymous with excellence in press agency work and reaffirms the prestige of its role in the modern media landscape.
