Alalam24, The chosen article by Laghzioui discusses the great suffering caused by the transformation of Moroccan journalism into a means of mockery, defamation, and ridicule, to the point where some consider it only suitable for cleaning glass. The author shares details from his personal life, where he enjoys reading local and regional newspapers, including those that some consider to be “trash”
The article talks about the biting and mocking criticisms that some direct towards journalists, and promotes the idea that real journalism has gone to waste, and that journalists publish fake news and need to straighten themselves out. The article argues that these people lack self-confidence and need to seriously consider the credibility of journalism, and that they should look at many journalists who are doing their best to present news correctly
The article concludes by emphasizing that the sadness and sorrow due to some people’s mistreatment of Moroccan journalism cannot deter the determination of Moroccan journalists, and that they continue to provide important media services to society and contribute to building a state of law and democracy. The article calls for pride in the profession and preserving its high status in society, and for people to see journalism as a very important and hardworking job
The feelings of sadness and frustration that the author expresses towards the state of Moroccan journalism reflect a painful reality that the journalism sector in Morocco is suffering from. This reality also reflects the general image of Moroccan society and its relationship with the media
Journalism is the backbone of any democracy and the main means of communication and interaction between society, the state, and the outside world
