The Maghreb region, besides being a melting pot, is also a region that has known all Mediterranean civilizations thanks to the culture of its people who have always assimilated the monotheistic religions. In addition, the privileged place of this religious variable has made it a required tool for the governors towards their people. Since the 1956’s, the traditional use of religion has dissipated to the detriment of new models of influence through the classical and then digital media, which have put forward several new powerful political and economic actors who have overturned the divine word as well as the references of the believers.

Dans le cadre de cet article, nous choisissons d’étudier trois journaux arabes, édités à Londres, qui ont survécu aux mutations du métier de la presse en sachant évoluer vers des pratiques en ligne. Ils regroupent des journalistes arabophones venus de différents pays arabes. Ces journaux quotidiens arabophones ont couvert et accompagné les grands événements mondiaux ainsi que l’actualité du monde arabe en suivant des lignes éditoriales marquées soutenant, chacun, l’un des pays du Golfe tout au long d’un conflit historique, qui s’est étalé de 2017 à 2021 et a engendré une rupture diplomatique et une fermeture de frontières. Il s’agit des journaux suivants : Acharq Alawsat ou Le Moyen-Orient, un journal saoudien ; Alquds Alarabi ou Jérusalem arabe, actuellement pro-qatari ; Alarab ou Les Arabes, actuellement pro-émirati. Le but de la démarche est de répondre à une question, qui n’est pas des moindres : quelle place occupe cette presse arabophone prise entre gérer son implantation dans un pays d’accueil et une mission à accomplir dans sa région d’origine ? Autrement dit : cette presse se considère-t-elle comme une presse pleinement arabe ou plutôt comme une presse d’exil ?

The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) into our daily lives is rapidly spreading. AI systems are now capable of handling multiple tasks, making decisions, as well as managing work that was previously the domain of skilled experts. The rapid propagation of AI has led to significant improvements across various economic sectors. More specifically, media and electronic press companies have undergone remarkable transformations because of scientific research, technological advancements, and the rise of AI. These advancements provide the capacity to upgrade the speed, quality, and precision of generated content and streamline content optimization. AI integration in media production marks a transformative era by offering unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, creativity, and audience engagement. However, this technological evolution presents novel challenges that demand thoughtful consideration, which is particularly true in media and news production. This research seeks to explore the possibility of exploiting the potential of AI for innovation, while addressing its ethical implications and related risks in the Moroccan electronic press.

This study investigates how the post-truth phenomenon, characterized by widespread disinformation and eroding trust in expertise, affects security decision-making. It examines how post-truth alters security perceptions and threat assessments, the role of emerging technologies and biases in disseminating disinformation, and the mitigating influence of regulatory frameworks in Morocco. Employing a mixed quali-quantitative approach, the study focuses on Morocco, analyzing 5670 press releases and official communications from key security institutions. The quantitative phase uses topic modeling (LDA) to identify dominant themes, while the qualitative phase employs visual and documentary analyses to verify these trends. Findings indicate that disinformation in Morocco manifests primarily through ideological polarization and operational challenges in intelligence. This dual impact undermines reliable information flow and complicates strategic decision-making. Broader implications suggest the need for robust regulatory measures, enhanced digital literacy, and advanced analytical tools to protect security decision-making processes in a post-truth era.

This article presents an in-depth analysis of the intertwining of religious and protest expression on digital social networks in Morocco. By exploring the mechanisms by which religious discourse is used to mobilize, articulate claims, and catalyze collective action online, we highlight the importance of the religious dimension in the landscape of contemporary protest. Through a mixed approach of the content analysis of a Facebook page, we demonstrate that online protest mobilization with a religious substance is a multidimensional phenomenon that shapes real socio-political dynamics, and we illustrate the power of religious discourse to structure and legitimize claims, mobilize around shared values, and strengthen the sense of community belonging.
