What Le360 does

Le360 is a Moroccan digital news media platform operated by Web News SARL (a private limited company with registered capital of 20,000,000 DH), headquartered in Casablanca at 42 boulevard Abdelmoumen. Founded around 2012–2013, Le360 publishes news and analysis across ten categories — politics, economy, society, international, culture, media, sports, people, lifestyle, and tourism — in both French (fr.le360.ma) and Arabic (ar.le360.ma). Its signature editorial product, Kiosque 360, is an analytical press review that aggregates and synthesizes coverage from Moroccan daily newspapers. A standalone sports portal (sport.le360.ma) operates as a sub-brand, particularly covering the Moroccan national football team.

The product surface is a web platform supplemented by native iOS and Android applications and an Instagram presence (@le360fr); core features include a moderated commenting system, reader polls, an email newsletter, and embedded video journalism. The platform is free to readers with no subscription or paywall; the business model is advertising-led, monetizing audience reach via display, branded content, and advertiser partnerships (advertising inquiries routed to [email protected]). The platform emphasizes a participatory editorial model — accepting reader-submitted blogs, comments, and polls — underpinned by an editorial charter covering pluralism and ethical standards. Customer segments are horizontal: the general Moroccan public, the Moroccan diaspora, and international readers interested in Morocco.

The company is privately held with 101–250 employees and no identified institutional investors, parent company, or M&A history. Revenue, ARR, and traffic metrics are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is exclusively digital; there are no physical editions, no print operations, and no identified strategic partnerships, awards, or regulatory actions in the inputs. Leadership disclosed is Wadie El Mouden as Director of Publication, operating from Casablanca.
