Revenue model

1. Digital Subscription: The newspaper operates a subscription model restricting full article access and PDF archive browsing to paying subscribers. The website explicitly shows a paywall for archived PDFs and premium articles, with an annual subscription product (product/abonnement-annuel) prominently displayed.
2. Advertising and Partnerships: The newspaper sells advertising space, with a dedicated advertising page (Ecomedias) referenced in the footer. Display advertising on the website and potentially within the PDF editions constitutes an additional revenue stream.

• Akhbar Al Yaoum: Independent Moroccan Arabic-language daily newspaper with a strong investigative and political coverage focus. Direct competitor in the Moroccan Arabic-language print and digital daily newspaper segment.
• Al Massae: Moroccan Arabic-language daily newspaper covering politics, society, and national affairs. Closely comparable to Assabah in language, target audience, and editorial scope.
• L'Opinion Maroc: Moroccan daily newspaper publishing in both French and Arabic editions with national news coverage. Comparable peer operating in the same Moroccan daily newspaper market with a similar digital-plus-print distribution model.
