What alyaoum24.com does

Alyaoum24.com (اليوم 24) is a Moroccan digital news platform founded in 2013 and operated by شركة اليوم24 (Alyaoum24 Company). It provides continuous 24-hour Arabic-language coverage of Moroccan politics, economics, sports, society, international news, women's issues, culture, and accidents, and also publishes a French-language edition (fr.alyaoum24.com) for the Moroccan diaspora and francophone readers. The platform is structured as a horizontal news portal organized into category sections, with supplementary utility features including prayer times and weather for Moroccan cities.

The underlying technology stack is a standard WordPress-based content management system with responsive design and mobile-first presentation. Distribution is multi-channel: the primary website is complemented by native iOS and Android mobile applications (free, no paywall), an Alyaoum24 TV video section featuring news reports, documentaries, and talk-format programming (e.g., "المايك مفتوح"), a YouTube channel, and a Facebook page. Content production volume is substantial — the political news category alone spans 5,345+ paginated archive pages, with sports and accidents sections similarly deep.

The business model is direct-to-consumer digital publishing with free access and no subscription or paywall layer. Revenue is generated primarily through digital advertising, including display ads, sponsored content, and likely programmatic placements across web and mobile inventory. The Publishing Director, Abdelhak Belchekr (عبد الحق بلشكر), leads editorial operations, and the company is privately held with no disclosed external institutional funding. The platform self-positions as one of the more prominent Moroccan digital news properties.
